Ingredients

Kosher salt
3 pounds green beans, trimmed of stem end
1/2 cup skin on sliced almonds
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large onions, sliced thin
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Fill a large high sided skillet with some water, adding enough to be just shy of the rim of the pan by about 1 inch. Place over high heat and bring up to boil; add a big pinch of salt and the green beans. Cook for about 5 minutes, the beans should still be crisp. Drain the beans and then run them under some cold water to stop them from cooking. Reserve the beans while you start the onions.

Return the skillet you cooked the beans in to the cook top over medium heat. Add the almonds and toast stirring every now and then until golden, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the almonds from the skillet and reserve. Return the skillet to the heat and add the butter and olive oil and heat until the butter has melted. Add the onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook stirring frequently until the onions caramelize, 20 to 25 minutes. Add the thyme, and cook for another 5 minutes. Add the cooked cooled green beans and almonds, and stir well to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

A Thanksgiving and Christmas favorite
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this at Thanksgiving as an alternative to the same old green bean casserole! It was so well received that it was... requested again at Christmas. Now I'm emailing all of the relatives the recipe, by request! I did cook the green beand for about 8 minutes instead of the 5the recipe said. Your family will love this! Read more

Believe the ratings
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Served these as one of the vegetable dishes at our Thanksgiving feast in 2009. They are excellent. I carmelized the onions... as the beans were cooking and roasted the almonds ahead of time. Once the beans were cooked and drained I just combined everything and put them in the serving dish. They were well cosumed at the table.Read more

I made these green beans tonite for dinner and they were amazing! I cooked my beans longer because my kids like them a little... softer. Cheap to make and fantastic to eat! I will be making these again and again!Read more
