Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 50 grams slivered almonds
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 120 milliliters water
Directions
Step 1
Wash and trim the green beans, snipping off the ends as needed.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat until it starts to sizzle.
Step 3
Add the slivered almonds to the skillet and toast them for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown. Remove the almonds from the skillet and set them aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, lower the heat slightly and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, being careful not to let the garlic burn.
Step 5
Add the green beans to the skillet, along with the salt, black pepper, and water. Stir to combine.
Step 6
Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the green beans to steam for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
Step 7
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Allow any excess water to evaporate while sautéing the beans for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Stir in the lemon zest and return the toasted almonds to the skillet, tossing everything together to combine.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then remove from heat.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a bright and nutty side dish.
