Blanching Green Beans

Start by adding your green beans to boiling water and blanching them until they turn bright green. They should be tender, but still have a little bite to them.

Cold Rinsing Green Beans

When the green beans are cooked perfectly, quickly take them out of the boiling water, strain, and put them into an ice water bath or rinse them under cold water. This is to stop the cooking process and to keep our green beans in perfect form.

Add Butter to Pan

Add butter to a medium sauté pan on low heat.

Add Butter to Pan

Mix in green beans, salt & pepper, and a little water.

Toss the Grean Beans in Butter

Warm the green beans, giving them a few tosses to evenly coat them in butter.

Warm Butter in Small Pan

In a different small sauté pan on medium heat add the rest of the butter until in is lightly browned and then add your sliced almonds.
