Recipe
Green beans with lemon butter and almonds
What you’ll doYou will boil salted water, blanch trimmed green beans until just tender but still bright, then drain them. While the beans cook, toast flaked almonds in a dry pan until golden, then set them aside before melting butter in the same pan and zesting lemon directly into it. The beans go in last, tossed until glossy, seasoned, and scattered with the toasted almonds to serve.
