As you can see my green beans are ready! Well, most of them anyway. My mother-in-law picked several last week and I picked a bunch more tonight. Is there anything better than growing your own food? I know there are a few things better, but it is still so exciting! I just thought I would share my new favorite green bean recipe. As usual I don’t measure things very well.
Butter Almond Green Beans
Ingredients:
2 cups or so of Green beans, fresh or frozen
1/3 cup of Almonds
1-2 Tablespoons of Butter
Garlic Salt to taste
Boil fresh or frozen green beans for 5-7 minutes until tender.
Melt butter in a saucepan and then add the almonds and toast. Once the almonds are toasted, add the green beans (after you drain them of course).
Saute the green beans for 2-3 minutes and add a little garlic salt.
Done and serve!
