Ingredients
- 1 lb green beans
- 2tbs salted butter
- 50g slivered almonds
- 1/2 lemon
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cloves minced garlic (optional)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to boil, then add the beans. Cook until bright green, about 2-3 minutes. They should be just tender but still crisp.
- Pour into a colander and spray with cold running water until completely cooled.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium-low heat, then melt the butter.
- Add the almonds and cook until a light golden color, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and simmer until fragrant about 1m. (Optional.)
- Add the green beans and heat through to finish cooking. Remember the beans are nearly cooked, so this may only take a minute or two.
- Remove from pan immediately. Squeeze lemon on top and serve shortly.
