Sautéed Green Beans with Lemon and Almonds
Just 5 minutes to make this tasty side dish full of buttery, lemony goodness and extra crunch from Almonds!
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 tbsp Butter
- 4 cloves Garlic, peeled and crushed (or minced)
- 1 pound French Haricots Verts or regular Green Beans
- 1/2 Lemon, juiced (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 cup sliced or slivered Almonds, or to taste
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large pan or skillet. When hot (but not smoking) add the olive oil and melt the butter in it. Add the garlic cloves and saute until aromatic, about 1 minute or less. Add the green beans and quickly saute or stir-fry. You may season with salt and pepper, at this point.
- Adjust heat to medium and cover the pan to allow the green beans to cook until tender-crisp about 2-3 minutes (or slightly longer if using regular green beans).
- Uncover and give it a quick stir. Squeeze fresh lemon juice (adjust to taste) and add the almonds. Adjust seasoning, if needed and give it a final stir. Serve immediately!! This is truly so delicious!!
