ALMOND GREEN BEANS
Have you ever had an experience where you randomly create a recipe only to discover it's already a very well know dish? That was the story with these almond green beans. Only after I made them at home did I realize the French have Green Beans Almondine and that Chinese restaurants have Spicy green beans which are now my dish of choice.
Servings 6
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs green beans trimmed
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ⅓ cup almonds
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- In a microwave safe bowl, cook green beans and water covered for 3-5 minutes, depending on desired crunchiness. Drain water.
- Meanwhile, in a pan large enough to hold green beans, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add almonds. Saute 2-3 minutes to coat and toast almonds.
- Slowly add green beans. Beware of sizzle from water hitting hot pan. Add salt and pepper. Toss almonds and green beans in olive oil until beans begin to char (2-3 minutes).
