HOW TO MAKE Green Beans almondine
You’ve selected the freshest green beans and know how to trim them — now it’s time to get cooking! Below is an overview of how to make Green Bean Almondine (full recipe in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post):
Step 1: Blanch the green beans. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season with 1 tablespoon of salt. Make a large ice bath and set it to the side in the sink. Blanch the beans for 3-4 minutes, then drain and immediately transfer to the ice bath. Le the beans cool while you proceed with the recipe.
Step 2: Cook the Bacon. Cook the bacon in large skillet over medium-low heat until crispy. Remove bacon and discard all but 1 tablespoon bacon grease.
Step 3: Sauté the almonds. Melt the butter in the remaining bacon grease. Add the almonds and sauté until lightly golden brown. They will become more golden as they continue to toast with the garlic and shallots in the next step.
Step 4: Sauté the aromatics. Add the shallots, garlic, and spices to the almonds. Sauté an additional 2 minutes, or until the shallots are tender.
Step 5: Sauté the blanched green beans. Drain the green beans and add them to the skillet, or transfer them using a strainer (you don’t need to dry the beans first). Mix all of the ingredients together, then sauté until the green beans reach your decided level of crisp-tenderness. Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice.
