1
Prepare the Haricots Verts
Trim the ends of the haricots verts and rinse them under cold water.
2
Blanch the Beans
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the haricots verts and blanch for about 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
3
Toast the Almonds
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the slivered almonds for about 3-5 minutes until golden brown, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and set aside.
4
Sauté the Haricots Verts
In the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the blanched haricots verts and sauté for about 2-3 minutes.
5
Finish the Dish
Sprinkle the porcini dust over the haricots verts and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Add the toasted almonds and toss everything together.
6
Serve
Transfer the haricots verts to a serving dish and enjoy warm.
