🥬 Ina Garten Green Beans Almondine Ingredients

🥙 How To Make Ina Garten Green Beans Almondine

1. Start by boiling a large pot of water with salt and then place a huge dish of ice water next to it. Blanch the green beans for two minutes after dropping them into hot water.
2. Quickly remove from heat by submerging in icy water after draining. Remove excess liquid and pat dry with a towel.
3. Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Toss the almonds into the dry skillet and toast for 2–3 minutes, or until they turn golden brown. Take out the almonds from the skillet and put them aside.
4. Sauté the shallot and salt for 2 minutes after adding the oil to the pan (reducing the heat if needed).
5. Sauté the green beans for another 2 to 4 minutes, or until they are soft and warmed through.
6. Take the skillet from the heat and mix in the garlic and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste before transferring to a serving dish. Place the almonds on top and then serve.
