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.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
- Trim the green beans before cooking: Trim the ends of the green beans where the stem was attached. You can also remove the strings from the beans if desired, but this is not necessary.
- Caramelize the onions slowly: Cook the onions over medium-low heat until they are soft and golden brown. This will take about 15 minutes. Don't rush the process, or the onions will burn.
- Add the garlic and tarragon at the end of cooking: This will prevent them from burning and will allow their flavors to shine through.
- Season to taste: Taste the green beans and onions before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or tarragon.
Conclusion:
Green beans with caramelized onions and tarragon is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The caramelized onions add a sweet and savory flavor to the green beans, while the tarragon adds a touch of freshness. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
