Green Beans With Almonds

Source: Vibrant Life

 

water with salt

1 pound green beans, ends trimmed, cut into 3-inch lengths

3 T. olive oil

1 cup sliced almonds

2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

2 carrots (peeled) cut into 3-inch lengths and julienned (about 1 cup)

6 green onions, cut into 3-inch lengths and julienned (about 3/4 cup)

1 t. rinsed and chopped fresh thyme leaves

salt to taste

fresh-squeezed lemon juice

 

Bring a medium-sized pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add green

beans and cook until tender-crisp (2-4 minutes). Drain immediately in a

colander; then immerse in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and retain

color. Drain again. In a large frying pan, warm oil over medium heat. Add

almonds and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned (3-5

minutes). Add carrots and cook another 2 minutes. Add green onions, green

beans, and thyme; cook (stirring) until the onions are softened but not

browned and beans are heated through (1-2 minutes). Season to taste with

salt, and squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over the green bean mixture

just before serving.
