Provided by Natasha of NatashasKitchen.com

Categories     Easy

Time 27m

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 lbs raw green beans (fresh or frozen)
1 1/2 sticks salted butter
or use unsalted butter and add 3/4 tsp salt when you begin to melt the butter in the skillet
1 1/2 cups sliced almonds
Grated Parmesan to taste - optional

Steps:

  • Rinse green beans. Snip the bases off on all the green beans.
  • Fill a large soup pot 2/3 with water and bring to a rapid boil. Add 2 Tbsp salt. Add beans and boil 6 to 7 minutes, until crisp-tender.
  • Drain beans immediately and rinse them with cold water to stop the cooking process, then place them in your serving dish.
  • In a large skillet, over medium heat, melt 1 stick of butter. Add shaved almonds to the skillet and stir them until they are golden. Watch them closely once they start to golden because they can burn quickly beyond this point.
  • Melt in the rest of the butter (1/2 stick), stir and pour the buttery almonds evenly over the green beans.
  • Use tongs to lightly toss the beans with the buttery almonds, but not too much because the almonds tend to escape to the bottom of the dish.

GREEN BEAN AND CORN ALMONDINE



Green Bean and Corn Almondine image

The classic French dish of green beans and almonds gets a fun update with the addition of corn, which lends extra sweetness, chewy texture and pops of golden color. The simply prepared dish allows the tender green beans and corn to shine in a velvety garlic- and thyme-infused butter sauce. The nutty flavor and delicate crunch of toasted sliced almonds round out the dish. (Haricots verts also work beautifully here, in place of the green beans, but decrease the steaming time to 3 minutes.) This quick and versatile salad pairs well with many different foods and can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup sliced almonds (2 ounces)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed
5 thyme sprigs
Salt and black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups fresh corn kernels (from 2 to 3 ears), or use thawed from frozen

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread almonds on a baking sheet and bake until golden, 6 to 7 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large (12-inch) deep skillet with a lid, heat oil over medium. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add green beans and thyme, season with salt and pepper, and toss to evenly coat in the oil. Add 1/2 cup of water, cover and steam until beans are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in butter and corn, and cook, stirring occasionally, until corn and green beans are tender and glazed in the sauce, 4 to 5 minutes. Discard the thyme sprigs, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer beans and corn to a large platter and spoon over any remaining sauce. Garnish with the toasted almonds and more black pepper.

Tips:

  • For a creamy texture, soak the almonds in water overnight before making the almond butter.
  • Use fresh, crisp green beans for the best flavor. Trim the ends of the beans before cooking.
  • Sauté the green beans in a hot pan until they are slightly charred for a smoky flavor.
  • Add a pinch of turmeric powder to the sabzi for a vibrant color.
  • Season the sabzi with salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste.
  • Serve the sabzi with rice, roti, or naan.

Almond butter green bean sabzi is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
