This green bean dish is absulutely delicious! Double the recipe to serve more than 6 people, or just double the recipe anyway LOL!. You can steam the beans, cover and chill up to a day in advance. Coarsley chopped pecans or walnuts can be substituted for the sliced almonds if desired. Ingredients:
2 lbs fresh green beans, trimmed |
7 tablespoons butter (can use a bit less) |
1 cup almonds, coarsley chopped (or sliced) |
1 tablespoon minced lemon peel (use the yellow part only, can use a bit more lemon peel) |
1/3 cup finely chopped parsley |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Cook the green beans in a pot with salted water until JUST tender (about 5 minutes, you can steam the also) drain and transfer to a large bowl of ice water to cool; drain and pat dry with a paper towel (this can be done a day ahead).
2. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.
3. Add in chopped almonds, and toss with butter; saute the nuts until they are lightly browned and crisp (about 2-3 minutes).
4. Add in beans, and toss to combine with the nuts until heated through (about 3-4 minutes).
5. Mix in the lemon peel; cook 1 minute.
6. Mix in the chopped parsley.
7. Season with salt and pepper, and transfer to a bowl.
8. Delicious!
