One of my favorite recipes is Green Beans Almondine!  I was first introduced to this dish when I was a server at Boone Tavern Hotel in college.  At the end of the dinner shift we always got to eat the vegetables that we left over and it is a wonderful and light dish!  A great alternative to canned greens beans and perfect fresh from the garden.

Ingredients:

1 and 1/2 lbs. green beans
4 oz. almonds, sliced
2 TBSP Olive Oil (or Butter)
Salt and Pepper to taste (I use Sea Salt)

Directions:

Saute almonds in olive oil until lightly browned be careful to not burn.  Steam green beans until tender.  Toss with almonds and season with salt and pepper before serving.
