PREPARATION FOR SAUTÉED GREEN BEANS WITH ALMONDS

  1. Prepare the Green Beans: Trim the ends of the green beans and rinse them under cold water. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
  1. Toast the Almonds: In a dry pan, toast the sliced almonds over medium heat until golden brown. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  1. Sauté the garlic; heat the olive oil in the same pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  1. Cook the Green Beans: Add the green beans to the pan with the garlic. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender-crisp.
  1. Season and Serve: Season the green beans with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle with the toasted almonds, and serve immediately.

TIPS FOR SAUTÉED GREEN BEANS WITH ALMONDS

  • Blanching: If you prefer a brighter green colour and slightly softer texture, blanch the green beans in boiling water for 2 minutes before sautéing.
  • Toasting Almonds: Keep a close eye on the almonds while toasting, as they can burn quickly.
  • Garlic: For a milder garlic flavour, use less garlic or sauté it for a shorter time.

VARIATIONS

  • Add Lemon Zest: For a citrusy twist, sprinkle lemon zest before serving.
  • Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top for a cheesy flavour.
  • Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for some heat.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
  • Freezing: Not recommended, as the texture of the green beans may become mushy after thawing.
