Green Bean Almondine

Hey Everyone! How is your November going? So what is Thanksgiving dinner without some vegetables? One of my favorite vegetables are green beans. Here is a simple recipe with green beans and almonds. You can make this recipe 10 minutes before dinner time. Just a reminder there are more Thanksgiving recipes on my website www.chefwithaheart.com. 

 

Ingredients:

1 lb green beans

1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil

1/2 cup chopped almonds

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 tsp Black Pepper or to taste

 Directions:

1) Steam the green beans for about 5 minutes, or until they turn bright green and are just barely tender.  If you don’t have a steamer, you can also boil them.

2) While the green beans are cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Add the almonds and cook them, stirring frequently, until you can smell the nuts toasting. Stir in the garlic and cook for about 1 minute more, stirring constantly.

3) When the green beans are done cooking, put them into the skillet with the almonds and stir until they are coated.  Sprinkle with pepper.

4) Enjoy!
