Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 2 shallots finely chopped
  • 1 lb green beans trimmed
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt finely ground
  • pinch pepper
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  • In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the almonds, stirring often, until fragrant and golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. (Keep a close watch on the almonds, as they can quickly go from lightly brown to burnt.) Set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallots and cook, stirring frequently, until the shallots are softened, 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Increase the heat to high and add the green beans, salt, and pepper. Sauté the green beans until al dente, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour in the lemon juice, and sprinkle with the toasted almonds and lemon zest.Toss to combine. Serve hot.
