Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 to 16 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed
3 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, grated on a rasp grater or finely minced
Zest of 1 lemon plus 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Prepare an ice bath. Blanch the green beans briefly in the boiling water, then transfer to the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large pan on medium-high heat, add the butter, garlic and lemon juice. When the butter is melted and the garlic is fragrant, add the green beans and toss until just heated through. Taste a green bean and season with salt and pepper if needed. Remove to a serving plate and wipe the pan clean. Add the almonds and lemon zest and quickly toast a minute or two. Sprinkle the toasted almonds and zest over the green beans and serve.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover green beans. I usually have a few stragglers in my fridge after a big dinner, and this is a great way to use them up.
