Lemon Almond Green Beans

Steps

  1. Put the almonds in a large dry skillet over medium-low heat. Toast, shaking the pan often, until golden and fragrant.
  2. Tip the almonds onto a plate right away so they don't keep browning in the hot pan.
  3. Add the green beans, water and salt to the same skillet and turn the heat to medium-high.
  4. Cover the skillet and let the beans steam until bright green and crisp-tender.
  5. Uncover and keep cooking, stirring, until any water left in the pan has evaporated.
  6. Add the butter and toss until it melts and the beans look glossy.
  7. Take the pan off the heat. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, pepper and toasted almonds, toss once more and serve.
