Ingredients
4 Servings
- 60 grams almonds
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 450 grams green beans
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Drain the green beans and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
Step 3
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced almonds and cook, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Step 5
Add the green beans to the skillet and toss to coat in the butter and almonds. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the green beans are heated through.
Step 6
Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to combine and serve immediately.
