Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons salt (for water)
- 1 lb green beans (Trimmed- Use smaller French haricot vert green beans if you can find them)
- 3 Tablespoons butter (divided)
- 1/3 Cup almonds (sliced)
- 1/4 Cup yellow onion (finely diced)
- 2 Tablespoons garlic (finely minced)
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- salt (to taste)
- black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the salt.
- Lightly boil the green beans for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until they are crisp-tender and slightly under cooked. Drain and set aside.
- Melt 2 Tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium low heat. Add the sliced almonds and stir for 2-3 minutes just until they start to turn a light brown. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
- Turn the heat down to low and add 1 tablespoon butter, yellow onion and garlic. Saute for 1-2 minutes until it is lightly caramelized.
- Add the green beans and 1 tablespoon of water to the skillet and saute until the green beans are tender and well combined.
- Add the almonds in (Reserve about 2-3 tablespoons for topping), lemon zest and lemon juice, toss gently to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Top with the reserved almonds and some fresh parsley and serve.
Notes
- For an extra flavor boost add 1 cup sliced mushrooms: Saute mushrooms along with the onions before you add in the green beans!
