Author: Dan Mikesell @ www.101cookingfortwo.com/
Fresh green beans with almonds, very nice. An easy one pan stove top side dish that will go great with almost any meal.
Prep time: 5 mins
Cook time: 15 mins
Total time: 20 mins
Serves: 4 servings.
Ingredients
1 pound green beans cleaned and trimmed to about 2 inches
¼ cup almonds
1 teaspoon olive oil
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
¼ cup water
1 tablespoon butter
3 cloves garlic crushed or minced
½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
Instructions
Start with cleaning and slicing about 1 pound of green beans into 2 inch pieces.
Over medium high heat toast ¼ cup of almonds until browning some (about 2-3 minutes).
Remove almonds and add 1 teaspoon olive oil to the pan and heat over medium heat until hot the add the trimmed beans.
Add ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
Saute until getting some spots of brown, about 5 minutes.
Add ¼ cup water and cover.
Cook about 2 minutes but stop while the beans are still bright green and crisp.
Remove lid and increase heat to high.
Cook off the water. About 1 minute.
Add 1 tablespoon butter, 3 cloves of crushed garlic and ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional).
Cook until light brown and starting to wrinkle. About 2-3 minutes.
Remove to serving bowl and toss with the almonds.
Notes
I cooked this for 4 (l like fresh green beans) but really cutting in half for two works well. But use the same amount of water to do the steaming part.
