1-2TablespoonsLemon juice - personal taste
¼teaspoonSalt
Instructions
Bring a heavily salted pot of water to boil over high heat.
Cook the green beans for 2-3 minutes, until you reach your desired level of doneness. Drain and rinse.
While cooking the green beans, melt the butter and olive oil together in a skillet over medium heat.
Once hot, add the slivered almonds and toast for 2-4 minutes, turning occasionally. You can toast until just lightly beige or until golden brown.
Toss the cooked green beans with the butter, oil and almonds until fully coated.
Remove skillet from heat and add lemon juice.
Serve immediately.
Notes
Add Crispy Bacon: Top the finished dish with crispy bacon or pancetta.
Zest: Grated lemon zest, along with the lemon juice, adds real fresh flavor. Use fresh lemon to add a tangy, refreshing kick to this dish.
Shallots: Toasted shallots contribute depth to this green bean dish. Toss beans with minced garlic and pepper for additional flavor, or add garlic cloves after roasting them to perfection.
Alternate cooking method tip: Try sautéing and cooking your Green Bean Almondine in an Instant Pot.
