Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh green beans ends trimmed
- 2 Tablespoon light olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- 2 garlic cloves finely minced
- Lemon juice of a half lemon
- ⅓ cup slivered almonds
Instructions
- Blanch green beans in boiling water with salt for about 2 - 3 minutes. Transfer them to a large bowl with ice-cold water. Drain the beans and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- While green beans are blanching, toast almonds for about 1 minute in a skillet on medium heat. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add blanched green beans to the skillet, season them with salt and black pepper, and saute them with a lid on, stirring often until they are tender for about 3 minutes. (Make sure you don't burn them, reduce the heat if necessary).
- Add lemon juice and minced garlic to the green beans, toss and cook until fragrant for about 30 seconds. Add toasted almonds. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm.
Notes
- Trim the tops and tails of the green beans before cooking.
- Take care not to overcook the beans. They should be fork-tender but still, have a slight crunch.
- Don't skip blanching the green beans.
- If you don't have almonds, you can use other nuts like walnuts, pecans, or pinenuts.
