Green Bean Almondine















I made this for my mother who wanted "western food". We ate this with some pasta. It made for a great side dish! I will definitely make this again and its so simple, healthy and tastes good. Does not get better than that!

Ingredients:

About a cup and half of green beans with their ends chopped off
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon sliced almonds
About 6 grape tomatoes sliced in half
Juice of half a lime
salt and freshly crushed black pepper

Method:

Heat oil in pan and cook green beans, till tender but still crisp and crunchy. Stir often to not char the beans. I think they were on for about 5 minutes I could be wrong. Add almonds and stir till almonds are toasted. Toss in tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Add lime juice and mix together. Serve warm.

TT :-) You crack me up!! Life with TT was so fun :-)

Btw, my lips are sealed, your secret is safe with me - wink wink :-)

You have certainly been productive - very yum recipes, from the beans to the matzo ones, not to mention the eggs and chicken saag. Good work!
