How to cook it

Prep timer

12:00
  1. Set a large skillet or saute pan over medium to medium-high heat and keep the ingredients close so the cooking stays fast and even.
  2. 1. Place green beans in a deep skillet with enough water to nearly cover them, then bring to a boil over medium heat and cook 4-5 minutes until desired tenderness is reached.
  3. 2. Drain the beans completely and transfer to your serving dish, then return the empty pan to the stove.
  4. 3. Melt the butter in the pan over medium heat, then add garlic and slivered almonds and sauté 1-2 minutes until aromatic.
  5. 4. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice.
  6. 5. Pour the almond-butter mixture over the green beans, season with salt and cracked pepper, and toss everything together before serving hot.
  7. Taste and adjust the seasoning at the end, then serve while everything is hot or freshly chilled.
