Notes
- For bright green beans, add a pinch of baking soda to the water. This doesn't change the flavor but keeps the color bright and fresh.
- If the beans are long, cut them in half.
- To toast almonds, place them in a dry non-stick skillet and cook and stir them over medium heat for 4-6 minutes or until lightly browned and fragrant. They can also be baked at 350°F for 7-8 minutes.
