Easy Almond Shallot Green Beans
Ingredients
- 1 lb French green beans
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 shallots, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 1/3 cup sliced almond
- salt to taste
- 1 tbsp parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare and chop the shallots, garlic, and parsley.
- To toast the almonds, heat a large skillet over medium heat, add sliced almonds to the dry skillet and cook until the almonds are toasted, about 2-3 minutes. Stir or shake almonds frequently while they are cooking and keep an eye on them because they can burn quickly. Remove the almonds from the skillet and set these aside in a small bowl.
- In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp of olive oil and heat over medium heat. Then add in the chopped shallot slices. Cook the shallots until browned, about 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Once the shallots are browned, add in the garlic until it becomes fragrant, about 1 minute.
- While cooking the shallots, heat up a large pot of water with a sprinkle of salt and bring it to a boil. Add in the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, until they are a bright green color.
- Drain the water and set the green beans aside and when garlic and shallots are done cooking, add the green beans into the pan. Add in the salt and lemon. Heat for 2-3 minutes and then move beans to a serving dish and top with almonds and fresh parsley and enjoy!
