Green Beans Amandine

Green beans always seem to be the vegetable left in our fridge at the end of the week. Rather than be mixed into curry or salad (our usual solutions), they got to star in their own side dish yesterday.

This Epicurious recipe is a twist on the usual green beans amandine with sliced or chopped almonds. The almonds are finely ground in the food processor, toasted in butter with lots of garlic, and then used to coat the steamed green beans.

Tasty! (And particularly garlicky when eaten cold for lunch the next day.)

Don't just trust us, though; read the Epicurious reviews:
