Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh green beans
- 60 grams slivered almonds
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 120 milliliters water
Directions
Step 1
Wash the green beans thoroughly. Trim off the ends and set them aside.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the slivered almonds. Toast them for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and fragrant. Remove the almonds from the skillet and set them aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to foam.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.
Step 5
Add the prepared green beans to the skillet and toss to coat them with the garlic oil mixture.
Step 6
Pour the water into the skillet, cover it with a lid, and let the green beans steam for 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
Step 7
Remove the lid and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow any remaining water to evaporate.
Step 8
Season the green beans with salt and freshly ground black pepper and toss to combine.
Step 9
Turn off the heat. Sprinkle the toasted slivered almonds over the green beans and gently toss to distribute evenly.
Step 10
Transfer the Garlic Almond Green Beans to a serving dish and serve immediately. Enjoy!
