Ingredients
- 1.1 lb (500 g) green beans
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 shallots minced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup (25 g) sliced almonds
Instructions
- Trim the brown ends of the beans and wash them thoroughly under cold water.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add ½ tbsp salt, and blanch beans for 5 minutes. They must be slightly undercooked! Drain them and rinse under running COLD water. → This stops the cooking process and ensures that the beans retain their green color.
- Meanwhile, toast sliced almonds for a few minutes in a skillet over medium heat. Set aside.
- In the same skillet, heat the olive oil, add minced garlic and shallots and sauté for 3 minutes.
- Add mustard, lemon juice, and drained beans. Toss and sauté for another few minutes until you are happy with how firm/soft your beans are. Toss with toasted sliced almonds, season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Keeps Fresh: For 2 days stored in the refrigerator.
- Reheat: In a skillet or microwave.
- No almonds at hand? If you don't have almonds at hand or don't like nuts in general, you can simply leave them out! No big deal!
