Green Beans Amandine
Green beans drizzled with lemon juice and topped with almonds are a quick-to-fix side dish.
Ingredients
-
8 ounces fresh green beans or one 9-ounce package frozen cut or French-cut green beans
-
2 tablespoons slivered almonds
-
1 tablespoon butter or margarine

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Cut fresh beans into 1-inch pieces (or, slice lengthwise for French-cut beans). Cook fresh green beans, covered, in a small amount of boiling salted water for 10 to 15 minutes (5 to 10 minutes for French-cut beans) or until crisp-tender. (Or, cook frozen beans according to package directions.) Drain; keep warm.
