Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 medium, sliced thinly yellow onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 0.25 cup sliced almonds
- 0.33 cup, freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Trim the ends off the green beans and rinse them thoroughly under cool water. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt completely.
Step 3
Add the sliced onion to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden brown. Remove the onions from the skillet and set them aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Toss the green beans into the skillet with the garlic. Pour in 1/4 cup of water and cover the skillet. Allow the beans to steam for 4-5 minutes or until they begin to soften but retain a slight crunch.
Step 6
Remove the lid and let any excess water evaporate. Add the caramelized onions back into the skillet along with the sliced almonds. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes to toast the almonds slightly.
Step 7
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the green beans, stirring to evenly coat them. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 8
Transfer the green beans to a serving dish and serve warm. Enjoy!
