Fresh Green Beans Almondine

🧂 Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds (675g) green beans

  trimmed
• 2.5 teaspoon Kosher salt

  divided
• 2 tablespoons (30ml) extra virgin olive oil
• ½ cup (35g) sliced almonds
• 1 shallot

  minced
• 1 garlic clove

  minced
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• grated zest of 1 lemon
• 2-3 wedges fresh lemon

Instructions

• 1 Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil with 2 teaspoons salt. Add the green
  beans and cook 2-3 minutes, until they turn bright green. Drain, then
  immediately rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking. Drain again.
• 2 Heat the oil in a large (12-inch) non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add
  the almonds, stirring to coat with the oil. Add the shallot, garlic, pepper and
  ½ teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the shallots become softened
  and the almonds are toasted, about 5 minutes.

  mixture. Cook 2-3 minutes, until heated through. Then, transfer the green beans
  to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with the lemon zest and serve with the lemon wedges.
