Green Beans Almandine
Serves 10
3 lbs Green Beans
2 T Olive oil for cooking
2 T Clarified Butter for cooking
1 T minced garlic
1 cup sliced almonds
2 T lemon juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
Clean and stem green beans. They can be blanched in boiling water for 3 minutes
prior, but I prefer heating them through in the pan. Heat oil and butter in a large
skillet over medium heat. Add the green beans and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Add
the garlic and almonds and continue to sauté until the almonds begin to lightly
brown. Finish with the lemon juice, toss quickly and remove from the heat. Season
with Salt and pepper.
