Ingredients
- 1 pound Fresh green beans
- 0.5 cup Sliced almonds
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 whole Lemon, juiced and zested
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 cups Water
- 1 tray Ice cubes
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of water with a pinch of salt to a boil. Prepare a large bowl with ice water nearby.
Step 2
Trim the ends of the green beans.
Step 3
Once the water is boiling, add the green beans and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp.
Step 4
Quickly transfer the green beans to the bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and retain their bright green color. Drain well and set aside.
Step 5
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced almonds and toast, stirring often, for about 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Be careful not to burn them. Remove the almonds from the skillet and set aside.
Step 6
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until the garlic is fragrant.
Step 7
Add the drained green beans to the skillet and toss to coat them with the garlic and oil.
Step 8
Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the beans are heated through.
Step 9
Add the toasted almonds to the skillet and gently toss everything together.
Step 10
Transfer the green beans almondine to a serving platter and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
