Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Blanch the Haricot Verts

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the haricot verts and blanch for about 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Drain the haricot verts from the ice water and add them to the skillet with the sautéed garlic. Toss to coat the beans in the oil and garlic.

  4. 4

    Season the Dish

    Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Toss everything together until well combined. If desired, add sliced almonds for extra crunch.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the haricot verts to a serving platter and enjoy warm as a side dish.
