Green Beans with Slivered Almondsphoto credit: InsulinResistance.com
How you doin’? I will be honest with you… this is not one of my favorite foods—green beans of any kind. But they are the perfect green veggie to serve at a Thanksgiving Day feast.
 
My dislike of green beans dates back to my student days at the Cordon Bleu in Paris. For the first 6 weeks of class (for which we paid a lot of money) all you worked on was GREEN BEANS… haricot vert for our French friends. We learned how to string them, cut, mince and dice them, sauté, fry and bake them. In short, we were required to learn how to do everything to green beans but grow them. Within 6-weeks the class size was half of what we started with and we got a lot more personal attention to progress our culinary talents.
 
So how do you like your green beans?
 
Prep time:  10 minutes
Cook time:  15 minutes
Yield:  4 to 6 servings
 
Ingredients
2 cups French-styled green beans, cooked, drained and still hot
1/4 cup slivered blanched almonds
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 to 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
 
Directions
  1. Steam the green beans for about 10 minutes over moderate heat.
  2. Sauté almonds in butter over low heat until golden, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, add salt, garlic and lemon juice. 
  3. Pour over hot cooked green beans.

ChefSecret:  The almonds are the best part of this dish. Be careful not to burn them. Cook them until they are just light golden brown.

Covid-19 Quip of the Day:  “My mom always told me I wouldn’t accomplish anything by lying in bed all day. But look at me now, ma! I’m saving the world!”
