Photo: Green Beans with Lemon and Toasted Almonds Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 (2-ounce) package sliced almonds, found on baking aisle
- 1 pound green beans, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- Salt and pepper
Directions
In a medium pan, toast almonds over medium heat. Remove from pan and add 1/2 inch water. Bring water to a boil, add beans and cover pan. Reduce heat. Cook beans 4 or 5 minutes until just tender yet still green. Drain beans and return pan to stovetop. Melt butter over moderate heat. Add lemon juice to butter (juice lemon half right side up to keep seeds with lemon, rather than in your beans). Add beans to lemon butter and coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer green beans to dinner plates or serving plate and top with almonds.

A really easy dish and a great alternative for green beans. I put my almonds in a mincer first
( because I only had a bag of whole almonds, not sliced which worked just fine. Lemon was a perfect complement to the beans - I even sauteed a few small rind slivers and added those to my sauce. A review below remarked that it was too lemony - I did not have that experience at all and I wonder if perhaps they used a whole lemon instead of the "1/2" called for in recipe. We thought this dish was very good. Thank you Rachel :
