SAUTÉED GREEN BEENS WITH ALMONDS

Happy Green Day Everyone! This is an uncomplicated, simple vegetable side; I made it with green beans as well as various leafy greens. The aim is to get the vegetables tender without loosing their crispness or bright green color. 1/8 cup water may be added to green beans. It is paramount to use fresh and tender beans, avoid stringy, overripe ones. 

SAUTÉED GREEN BEENS WITH ALMONDS
drizzle of olive oil 
1 Tbsp butter 
1/4 cup slivered almonds 
2 handfuls of fresh green beans, trimmed, washed and drained 
salt and pepper to taste 

• In a non stick skillet, melt olive oil and butter over medium low heat. 
• Add the almonds and sauté until almonds get a little colour. 
• With a slotted spoon scoop out the almonds and place them in a small dish. 
• Add the green beans to the skillet and salt it to taste. 
• Sauté the green beans, stirring often for 3 minutes. 
• Add 1/8 cup of water, sauté until the water is cooked away. 
• Immediately cover with a lid and turn the heat off. 
• Let the green beans cook in the residual heat for 4-5 minutes. 
• Uncover, add the almonds and heat through until piping hot and serve.

It began with posting a few recipes on line for the family. "zsuzsa is in the kitchen" has more than 1000 Hungarian and International recipes. What started out as a private project turned into a well visited blog. The number of visitors long passed the two million mark. I organized the recipes into an on-line cookbook. On top of the page click on "ZSUZSA'S COOKBOOK". From there click on any of the chapters to access the recipes. For the archive just scroll to the bottom of the page. I am not profiting from my blog, so visitors are not harassed with advertising or flashy gadgets. The recipes are not broken up with photos at every step. Where needed the photos are placed following the recipe. Feel free to cut and paste my recipes for your own use. Publication is permitted as long as it is in your own words and with your own photographs. However, I would ask you for an acknowledgement and link-back to my blog. Happy cooking!
