Green beans almondine

Blanch the green beans in lightly salted boiling water, 3 to 5 minutes.

Take off the stove, drain in a strainer and shock with cold sink water so they do not overcook and turn brown and mushy.

Heat butter in a large saute pan on medium to high heat, coat the beans generously in it and finish with salt and fresh pepper.

Heat butter in a small saute pan until slightly brown, add the almonds and toast about 3 minutes without burning.

Fill a serving dish generously with the green beans and top with the golden brown almonds.
