Ingredients

  1. Kosher salt
  2. 1 lb. haricots verts (French green beans), trimmed
  3. 3 tbsp. unsalted butter
  4. 1/2 c. raw sliced almonds
  5. 1 shallot, finely chopped
  6. 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  7. 1 lemon, zested
  8. 2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
  9. Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, prep an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and water. Cook green beans until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes (you want them to be slightly undercooked as they will continue to cook later). Using a slotted spoon, immediately transfer beans to ice bath. Drain.
  2. In large skillet over medium-low heat, melt butter until lightly bubbling. Add almonds and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add shallots and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add green beans and toss until combined and beans are tender. Stir in lemon zest and juice, tossing to coat; season with salt and pepper.
