Green Bean Almandine

 

Buttery and tossed with almonds, these green beans are just kind of perfect.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons butter, unsalted, or extra-virgin olive oil, almond oil, or walnut oil
  • ½ cup almond, slivered
  • 1 pinch salt, to taste

Preparation Instructions

Place the trimmed green beans and water in a pot over high heat, covered. Steam for 5-8 minutes until the beans are bright green and tender. Steam longer if you prefer a softer green bean.

Drain off the excess water. Add the butter/oil, almonds, and salt to taste.

Serve immediately or keep covered until ready. Heat briefly before serving.
