Green Beans with Flaked Toasted Almonds
Perfect for Christmas dinner or brunch, these green beans with flaked almonds make the perfect side for any given dish. They are crunchy, tasty, tangy, and light.
Equipment
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 pound green beans trimmed
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 spring onion thinly sliced
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1 clementine juiced
- ½ cup sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter or margarine
- sea salt
- peppercorns
Optional:
- parsley to garnish
Instructions
- In a skillet on low heat, toast the almonds carefully to prevent them from burning. Reserve.
- In the same skillet over medium-low heat, melt the vegan butter (or margarine), add the sliced spring onion and garlic powder, and cook for a minute.
- Stir in the clementine and lemon juices and 1 tablespoon water. About 2 minutes. Reserve.
- If you have a steamer, steam your greens for about 2 minutes; if you don’t, return the empty skillet to the stovetop, add the green beans, ½ cup water, and one teaspoon salt. Cover and cook over medium heat, occasionally stirring, until the beans are tender but have a crunchy bite, about 8 minutes.
- Off the heat, add the reserved toasted almonds, the spring onions, and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve with chopped parsley if desired.
