Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1/2 cup whole raw almonds, coarsely chopped
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse Kosher salt
Instructions
- Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil.
- Fill a large bowl with ice and water. Place the green beans in the boiling water and cook until bright green but still firm, about 2 minutes. Drain and transfer to the ice water. When cool, drain again. Pat dry with paper towels until completely dry.
- In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the almonds, shallot, garlic and salt. Cook, stirring frequently 5 to 7 minutes or until the almonds are toasted and the shallot is softened and transparent. Scrape the almond and shallot mixture into a bowl, wipe the skillet out with a paper towel.
- Add remaining 1 tablespoon coconut oil to the same skillet. Melt the oil over medium-high heat. Add the green beans and cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally until the beans are browned and crisp tender.
- Serve green beans warm or room temperature with almond mixture.
