Ina Garten Green Beans Almondine Recipe
This dish combines crisp-tender green beans with toasted almonds, making for a simple yet elegant side.The key to nailing this recipe is toasting the almonds to a perfect golden brown, which takes just a couple of minutes in a skillet.Using fresh lemon juice adds a bright note that complements the beans beautifully.I like this recipe because it’s quick to make, taking only about 20 minutes, which makes it great for any meal.
