Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans with the stems snapped off, and washed
- 1-2 tablespoons butter( I have cut the amount of butter down from original recipe)
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 2-3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, if desired
Method
- In skillet melt butter over low heat and add almonds, stirring occasionally until they are golden. Add 1/4 tsp. salt and fresh lemon juice and pour into a bowl. Wipe out skillet with paper towels. In same skillet, add enough water to come to about 1/2 inch deep. Bring water to a boil and add 1/2 tsp. salt and all of green beans. Bring back to a boil and cover pan with lid. You may use a steamer pan for the green beans, if desired. Cook green beans to tender crisp stage, about 2- 5 minutes. To test, poke beans with a fork to test doneness. Drain water from beans, stir in the almond and butter mixture, coating beans well, and place in a serving dish and serve.
