Steps:
- 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.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, crisp green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them.
- Trim the green beans properly: Cut off the stem end and the tip of each bean. You can also remove the strings from the beans if desired.
- Don't overcook the green beans: Green beans should be cooked until they are tender-crisp, but not mushy. Overcooked green beans will lose their flavor and texture.
- Caramelize the onions slowly: Caramelizing onions takes time, so be patient. Cook the onions over low heat until they are golden brown and sweet.
- Use fresh tarragon: Fresh tarragon has a delicate flavor that pairs well with green beans and caramelized onions. If you don't have fresh tarragon, you can use dried tarragon, but use half the amount.
- Serve the green beans warm: Green beans are best served warm, so cook them just before serving.
Conclusion:
Green beans with caramelized onions and tarragon is a simple but flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The green beans are tender-crisp, the onions are sweet and caramelized, and the tarragon adds a delicate flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
