Servings: persons

2 tablespoons vegetable oil or light olive oil
2 tablespoons sliced almonds
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
3 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon red chile pepper flakes

1
Heat the oil in a 3-quart saute pan over medium heat. Add the almonds and cook, stirring, until light golden. Remove from the heat and transfer the almonds to a plate or bowl; set aside for garnish.

Add the coconut milk and green beans. Mix well and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, covered, until the beans are tender, about 6 minutes.

Sprinkle the beans with the lime juice and toss lightly. Transfer to a warmed serving dish and garnish with the almonds and cilantro. If desired, serve accompanied by plain cooked rice or roti flatbread.
