Green Beans Amandine
Share
“Green beans amandine is a simple dish of sautéed green beans and garlic, toasted almonds, and a squeeze of lemon. It is bright, citrusy, and nutty for a healthy side dish worth sharing. My family loves this classic recipe. If you ask me, it’s far too delicious for how quickly it comes together.” – The Two Spoons Cookbook by Hannah Sunderani, Penguin Canada

Green Beans Amandine
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 2 shallots finely chopped
- 1 pound (450 g) green beans, trimmed
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon
Instructions
- In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the almonds, stirring often, until fragrant and golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. (Keep a close watch on the almonds, as they can quickly go from lightly brown to burnt.) Set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallots and cook, stirring frequently, until the shallots are softened, 2 to 4 minutes.
- Increase the heat to high and add the green beans, salt, and pepper. Sauté the green beans until al dente, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour in the lemon juice, and sprinkle with the toasted almonds and lemon zest. Toss to combine. Serve hot.
