Ingredients:
- 1 lb green beans (trimmed)
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- Sicilian Sea Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
Instructions:
-
Blanch the Green Beans: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch for about 3-4 minutes, until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
-
Sauté the Almonds: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced almonds and sauté for 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant.
-
Add Garlic and Green Beans: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds, then toss in the blanched green beans. Stir to combine, allowing the beans to soak up the buttery almond flavor.
-
Finish with Lemon and Sicilian Sea Salt: Remove the skillet from heat and toss the green beans with lemon juice. Season with Sicilian Sea Salt and black pepper to taste, giving the dish a zesty, briny lift.
-
Serve: Transfer the green bean almondine to a platter, garnish with extra toasted almonds, and a light sprinkle of Sicilian Sea Salt. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
