1½ozslivered almonds
2tbspsbutter
2garlic cloves,minced, or more to taste
salt and ground black pepper,to taste
Preparation
Place the beans into a microwave-safe casserole dish with enough water to cover the bottom.
Microwave on High power for 8 to 10 minutes until almost tender. Drain in a colander and refresh under cold running water to keep the nice green color.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add the almonds and cook for about 5 minutes, until just starting to turn golden, watching closely so as to not burn.
Take the pan off of the heat and add the butter to melt. Return to heat and add garlic.
Mix in the green beans, season with salt and pepper, and continue to stir for 5 to 7 minutes until heated through.
Serve warm, and enjoy!
