Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 3 tbsp Butter
  • 4 cloves Garlic, (peeled and crushed (or minced))
  • 1 pound French Haricots Verts or regular Green Beans
  • 1/2 Lemon, (juiced (adjust to taste))
  • 1/2 cup sliced or slivered Almonds, (or to taste)
  • Salt and Pepper, (to taste)

Instruction

  • Heat a large pan or skillet. When hot (but not smoking) add the olive oil and melt the butter in it. Add the garlic cloves and saute until aromatic, about 1 minute or less. Add the green beans and quickly saute or stir-fry. You may season with salt and pepper, at this point.
  • Adjust heat to medium and cover the pan to allow the green beans to cook until tender-crisp about 2-3 minutes (or slightly longer if using regular green beans).
  • Uncover and give it a quick stir. Squeeze fresh lemon juice (adjust to taste) and add the almonds. Adjust seasoning, if needed and give it a final stir. Serve immediately!! This is truly so delicious!!
