How to Make Algerian Green Beans With Almonds

  1. Wash and trim 1 pound of fresh green beans.
  2. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
  3. Drain the green beans and immediately rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
  4. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  5. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  6. Add 1/2 cup slivered almonds and cook for 1 minute, or until lightly toasted.
  7. Add the cooked green beans to the skillet and gently toss to coat evenly with the sauce.
  8. Serve warm. Garnish with extra cilantro and almonds if desired.
