Green Beans Almondine |
A one skillet wonder... |
I'm married to an Indiana man who thinks there's one way, and only one way to cook green bean. Put 'em in a pot with a couple slices of hog jowl and cook 'em until they are mush. I delight in finding OTHER ways to cook delicious green beans. Here's one:
Ingredients
1 lb. fresh green beans, stems
and strings removed
2 tbl. butter
2 cups chicken broth
salt and pepper
2 tbl. cornstarch
1 tbl. lemon juice
2 tbl. water
Sliced almonds
In skillet, melt the butter and lightly sauté the beans for 3 - 5 minutes on medium heat. This will brighten their color and help them keep their crunch. Add the chicken broth, salt and pepper to taste. Cover and simmer for 15 - 20 minutes. Right before you serve them, combine cornstarch, lemon juice and water. Pour over the beans and stir. Top with almonds.
