​Green Bean Almondine is a classic recipe that is naturally grain free and incredibly delicious. This recipe is so yummy and incredibly quick and easy to add to your menu.  It also adds a splash of bright green and  crunch to the meal.  The original vision for this recipe was from Primal Gourmet.  I've added a bit more flavor and topping. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
  • 4 cups green beans rinsed, flat ends trimmed
  • 2 small shallot finely sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup blanched, slivered almonds or sliced almonds
  • 1/2 tsp dried chili flakes optional
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp Extra Virgin olive oil 
  • kosher salt - to taste
  • Course or flaky sea salt

Instructions: 
  1. Fill a large saucepan with water. Bring to a rapid boil, season with a heavy pinch of kosher salt, and add green beans. Blanch green beans for 2-3 minutes or until slightly softened. Immediately remove green beans from hot water and rinse with cold water or an ice bath.
  2. Drain and thoroughly dry green beans. 
  3. In a saucepan on medium heat, add the olive oil, shallots and garlic. Gently sauté until golden (approx. 6 min).
  4. Add almonds and optional chili flakes. Toss to coat and cook an additional 1-2 minutes.
  5. Add green beans and toss to coat. Cook 2-3 minutes or until green beans are warmed through.
  6.  Remove from heat, add lemon juice and toss everything to coat. 
  7. Transfer to serving platter and finish with flakey sea salt. Serve immediately. For making ahead of time, do steps 1 and 2 and refrigerate.
