Ingredients
- 1 pound Fresh Green Beans trimmed and washed
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt for blanching
- 1 tablespoon Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
- 3-5 Garlic Cloves minced
- ¼ cup Slivered Almonds
- ¼ cup Dried Cranberries
- Pinch of Black Pepper
- Pinch of Sea Salt Flakes
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to the boil and add the Kosher salt.
- Add the trimmed green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes. They will turn bright green. Drain and rinse with cold water to cool. No need to shock in an ice bath. Drain off excess water and pat dry.
- Add olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the blanched green beans and minced garlic. Toss for 2 minutes or until the garlic is golden. Add the slivered almond, cranberries, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Toss for 30 seconds before removing from the heat.
- Plate on a serving dish and top with a few more slivered almonds and dried cranberries for garnish. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes. Enjoy!
Notes
Important Note about Salt: Not all salts are made equal and cannot be substituted 1:1. If you are substituting table salt for kosher salt, you will need to cut the amount called for in the recipe by at least half.
