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.

Savory and sweet. Everyone who tries this side dish absolutely loves it.

Provided by Jen

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Green Beans

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

¼ cup blanched slivered almonds
3 tablespoons butter
5 small shallots, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons white sugar
salt and pepper to taste
1 ½ pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and snapped

Steps:

  • Place the slivered almonds in a dry skillet over low heat, and cook and stir constantly until the almonds are lightly toasted, 3 to 5 minutes. Watch carefully, because they burn easily. Remove the almonds and set aside.
  • Heat butter in a skillet over medium-low heat, and cook and stir the shallots and red bell pepper until softened, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle the shallot mixture with sugar, salt, and pepper, and reduce heat to low. Cover, and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the shallots caramelize, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan, fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer, and bring the water to a boil. Add the green beans, cover, and steam until just tender enough to pierce with a fork, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain the green beans, place them into the skillet with the shallot mixture, mix well, and gently stir in the toasted almonds.

Tips:

  • If you don't have slivered almonds on hand, you can easily make your own by slicing whole almonds lengthwise.
  • Toasted almonds add a nice nutty flavor to the dish. To toast the almonds, simply spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • If you want a bit of a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the dish.
  • Green beans with almonds is a versatile dish that can be served as a side dish, main course, or appetizer.
