Sautéed Green Beans with Garlic and Almonds
January 05, 2021
When cooked just enough but not too much—longer than a flash in a pan but not long enough to turn things to mush—green beans retain their garden-fresh flavor, verdant color, and slight snap. Simple sautéed green beans with garlic, avocado oil, salt and pepper provide an easy 15-minute side dish to any meat, fish, or plant-based protein. Add extra flavor and interest by sprinkling on sliced almonds and spritzing with fresh lemon juice once cooked. You can also add any fresh chopped herbs, or chopped chives. Sauté chopped shallots or leeks along with the green beans if you don't like garlic, and try with toasted pine nuts or pumpkin seeds instead of almonds. Create a Mediterranean version of sautéed green beans by using garlic, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and sliced olives. Give your green beans Asian flare by adding minced ginger, garlic, chopped green onions, and toasted sesame seeds.
