I think I got this off a Diamond Almond Bag! Not Really sure! Makes green beans not so boring!
Ingredients:
1 lb green beans, ends trimmed, cut into 3 inch lengths
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup sliced almonds
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 cup red onion, cut into 3 inch lengths and thinly julienned
1/2 red bell peppers or 1/2 yellow bell pepper, cut into very thin strips
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leave
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
salt
fresh ground pepper
Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
2. Add green beans and cook until tender-crisp, 2 to 4 minutes.
3. Drain immediately in a colander, then plunge into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and retain color.
4. Drain again.
5. In a large frying pan, melt butter with the oil over medium heat.
6. Add almonds and garlic.
7. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes.
8. Add red pepper and add red onions cook another 2 minutes.
9. Then add green beans, and thyme and parsley; cook, stirring, until the onions are softened but not browned and beans are heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.
10. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
