Green Beans With Butter Fried Almonds

1. 1

   In a large pot of salted, boiling water, boil green beans until they are crisp-tender. Drain and shock in ice water to stop the cooking process. Dry well.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. You'll be finishing the green beans in the pan so it should large enough to accommodate all the beans. Once the butter is melted. Add in 1/3 cup slivered almonds and fry, stirring often, until they are evenly browned. Next, add in 1 minced garlic clove and let it gently cook for a minute or so. It should soften but not brown.

3. 3

   Add in the drained and dried green beans and toss with the buttery almonds and garlic until they are well-coated and warmed through. Transfer to a serving platter and shower them with lemon zest, juice, and a generous three-finger pinch of Maldon salt. Enjoy!
