My friend Viviane's take on Green Beans Almondine will make you -- if dining alone -- lick your plate and then feel ashamed of your own behavior. And, as a bonus, I've recently realized that green beans are fabulously budget-friendly. Serve these with any meal in need of some green.
This is not so much a recipe as a guide, with almost every ingredient being added 'to taste'.
Prep Time: 3 Minutes
Cook Time: 10 Minutes
Yield: Varies
Ingredients:
Green Beans
Several Cloves of Garlic (don't skimp), chopped or minced
Chopped Almonds
Olive Oil
Sea Salt
Steam green beans with whatever method you prefer (I actually use a counter-top steamer. Love it.) until tender-crisp. In the meantime, heat a little olive oil over medium flame in a heavy pan. Add garlic and almond pieces and saute, stirring, for 2-3 minutes or until garlic is soft and fragrant. When beans are cooked, toss them with garlic/almond mixture, a pinch of sea salt and a little more olive oil. Serve.
