Grean Bean Almondine

Note: The amount of salt is not a typo. It goes in the water to cook the green beans and helps them keep their bright green color.

1. Wash green beans and trim ends. In a large, deep skillet, bring the water to a boil. Add the salt and green beans, and boil 3–4 minutes or until beans are crisp-tender.

2. Drain beans and add the butter to the skillet. Melt butter and add drained beans and sliced almonds. Cook 2–3 minutes until beans are tender. Season with salt to taste and serve immediately.
