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, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
- Trim the green beans: Cut off the ends of the green beans, where the stem attaches. You can also remove the strings from the beans by pulling them off with your fingers.
- Blanch the green beans: Blanching the green beans helps to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Immediately transfer the green beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The tomatoes are one of the key ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. You can use any type of tomato you like, but Roma tomatoes or cherry tomatoes work well.
- Toast the almonds: Toasting the almonds adds a nice nutty flavor to the dish. To toast the almonds, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the almonds and cook, stirring constantly, until they are golden brown and fragrant.
