Steps:
- Fill a large high sided skillet with some water, adding enough to be just shy of the rim of the pan by about 1 inch. Place over high heat and bring up to boil; add a big pinch of salt and the green beans. Cook for about 5 minutes, the beans should still be crisp. Drain the beans and then run them under some cold water to stop them from cooking. Reserve the beans while you start the onions.
- Return the skillet you cooked the beans in to the cook top over medium heat. Add the almonds and toast stirring every now and then until golden, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the almonds from the skillet and reserve. Return the skillet to the heat and add the butter and olive oil and heat until the butter has melted. Add the onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook stirring frequently until the onions caramelize, 20 to 25 minutes. Add the thyme, and cook for another 5 minutes. Add the cooked cooled green beans and almonds, and stir well to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion, and garlic; cook until onions start to look soft and translucent, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Cut a couple of slits in the green bean bag and microwave on high power until beans are a bit defrosted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the microwave and pour the beans into the skillet.
- Crumble bouillon cube into the skillet and mix everything together. Turn the temperature down a bit and let the mixture cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Pour in water and mix until any remaining bouillon has dissolved. Cover and steam, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender and as crunchy or limp as you like them; you will need to taste them to determine when they are done.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green in color and have no blemishes. Avoid beans that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Trim the beans before cooking: Remove the ends of the beans and any tough strings that run along the sides.
- Blanch the beans before caramelizing: This will help them retain their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Drain the beans and rinse them with cold water.
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet: This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the onions from burning.
- Cook the onions over medium heat: This will allow them to caramelize slowly and develop a deep, rich flavor.
- Add a little sugar or balsamic vinegar to the onions: This will help to speed up the caramelization process and add a touch of sweetness.
- Stir the onions frequently: This will help to prevent them from burning.
- Add the beans to the skillet once the onions are caramelized: Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the beans are heated through.
- Season the beans with salt and pepper to taste: Serve immediately.
Conclusion:
Green beans with caramelized onions is a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. The beans are tender and crisp, while the onions are sweet and flavorful. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
