Green Beans with Spiced
Almonds
Boil 1 pound of trimmed green beans in a large pot of lightly salted water until barely
tender and bright green, 3 to 4 minutes, depending on toughness. Drain and run under cold
water to stop the cooking. Set aside.
Just before serving, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over moderate heat.
Add 2ounces of coarsely chopped spiced or Smokehouse almonds and cook for 30
seconds, stirring frequently. Add the cooled green beans and cook, tossing, until heated
throughout, 2 to 3 minutes. This recipe will yeild 4 servings.
