Ingredients
- 500 g green beans, trimmed
- 50 g butter
- 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 50 g flaked almonds
- juice of half a lemon
- flaky sea salt
Method
Blanch
Boil the beans in heavily salted water for four minutes until just tender with a squeak.
4 minRefresh
Plunge into iced water immediately. This stops them cooking and locks in the colour — beans left to sit turn olive green and floppy.
Brown the butter
Melt the butter with the almonds and garlic and cook until the butter smells nutty and the almonds are golden. Watch it: butter goes from nutty to burnt in about thirty seconds.
4 minToss
Add the drained beans and toss to heat through, then finish with lemon and flaky salt.
