Ingredients

    For the crispy shallots:
  • 2 Shallots, thinly sliced
  • 4 Cloves of Garlic, thinly sliced
  • 4 Tbsp of Olive Oil

  • 1lb of Thin French Green Beans, trimmed and washed
  • 2 Tbsp of Butter
  • 1/2 cup of Sliced Almonds
  • Salt
  • 1/2 of a Lemon

Preparation

    1) Fill a large pot with water, add a generous pinch of salt and bring to a boil.

    2) In a small skillet, add the oil, shallots and garlic, cook over medium low heat until they become golden brown, remove with a slotted spoon onto a plate, reserve the oil and let the shallots cool.

    3) Once the water is boiling, add the green beans, cook for 3 minutes, then drain, rinse under cold water to stop them from cooking any further.

    4) In a large skillet, add the butter, once melted add the almonds, allow to get lovely lightly golden brown, add the drained green beans, cook for a couple minutes to heat them through (taste and adjust the seasoning) then squeeze some lemon right in, place on a platter and scatter with the crispy shallots and garlic, serve right away!
