Can't go wrong with butter, garlic salt and toasted almonds! Ingredients:
2 lbs fresh green beans, trimmed |
1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick) |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme |
1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
1 teaspoon garlic salt |
1/3 cup slivered almonds, toasted |
Directions:
1. Cook green beans in a large pot of boiling salted water until just crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Using a large diameter strainer, transfer beans to a large bowl of ice water, cool completely. Drain well. (At this point you can make the beans a day ahead, store in refrigerator.) Alternatively you can steam the beans for 5 minutes and proceed directly to the skillet.
2. Melt 1/4 cup of butter in a heavy large skillet over medium hight heat. Whisk in 1 Tbsp of fresh thyme, 1 Tbsp of mustard and 1 teaspoon of garlic salt into butter. Add beans to skillet and toss until heated through, about 4 minutes. Transfer to serving bowl. Sprinkle with toasted almonds and remaining 1 Tbsp of thyme.
