A quick, tasty recipe. The almonds pick up a mild garlic flavor. This is really good with super fresh, right out of the garden, green beans! Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs fresh green beans, ends trimmed |
1/4 cup butter |
1 clove garlic, minced |
1/3 cup slivered almonds |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
salt |
Directions:
1. Heat 3 qts of water to boil in a large saucepan; add beans; cook uncovered until crisp-tender, 6-8 minutes.
2. Drain; rinse under cold water to stop the cooking.
3. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat; add garlic, cook, stirring often, until soft, about 2 minutes; stir in almonds; cook until almonds are light brown, about 2 minutes (watch carefully).
4. Stir in beans, lemon juice, and salt to taste; cook, stirring often, just until hot.
