1
Prepare the Beans
Trim the ends of the French green beans and wash them thoroughly.
2
Blanch the Beans
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
3
Toast the Almonds
In a dry skillet over medium heat, add the sliced almonds and toast them for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Stir frequently to avoid burning. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4
Sauté the Garlic
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5
Add Wine and Beans
Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the blanched green beans and stir to coat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
6
Finish and Serve
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Top with toasted almonds before serving.
