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.
Toast almonds. In a skillet on low heat, toast the almonds carefully to prevent them from burning. Reserve.
Melt the vegan butter. 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.
Add juices. Stir in the clementine and lemon juices and 1 tablespoon water. About 2 minutes. Reserve.
Steam green beans. 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.
Season. 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.
