"Absolutely fabulous and so darn easy! A classic French dish of sautéed greens beans and garlic, toasted almonds and a squeeze of lemon. It's bright, citrusy and nutty for a healthy side dish. (Far too delicious for how quickly it comes together!)"

Recipe Card
ingredients
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 shallots finely chopped
- 1 pound green beans, trimmed
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- zest of 1 lemon
Method
Step 1
In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the almonds, stirring often, until fragrant and golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. (Keep a close watch on the almonds, as they can quickly go from lightly brown to burnt.) Set aside.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallots and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 2-4 minutes.
Step 3
Increase the heat to high and add the green beans, salt, and pepper. Sauté until al dente, 5-7 mins. Pour in the lemon juice, and sprinkle with the toasted almonds and lemon zest. Toss to combine. Serve hot.
