After a quick dip in boiling water, tender-crisp green beans are drenched in nutty brown butter and topped with toasted almonds.
1 kg green beans, trimmed
1/3 cup butter
1/2 cup sliced almonds
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 tsp salt
BRING a large pot of water to a boil. Add green beans and cook until tender-crisp, 3 to 4 min. Drain well and rinse under cold running water. Pat dry with a kitchen towel.
MELT butter in a large frying pan over medium. Stir when it starts to become bubbly, 1 to 2 min. Remove from heat when butter turns brown.
ADD almonds, garlic and salt. Stir for 30 sec, then add beans. Toss until well coated.
