Ingredients

• 450 grams fresh green beans
• 60 grams slivered almonds
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 120 milliliters water

Directions

Step 1

Wash the green beans thoroughly. Trim off the ends and set them aside.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the slivered almonds. Toast them for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and fragrant. Remove the almonds from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to foam.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.

Step 5

Add the prepared green beans to the skillet and toss to coat them with the garlic oil mixture.

Step 6

Pour the water into the skillet, cover it with a lid, and let the green beans steam for 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.

Step 7

Remove the lid and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow any remaining water to evaporate.

Step 8

Season the green beans with salt and freshly ground black pepper and toss to combine.

Step 9

Turn off the heat. Sprinkle the toasted slivered almonds over the green beans and gently toss to distribute evenly.

Step 10

Transfer the Garlic Almond Green Beans to a serving dish and serve immediately. Enjoy!
