Recipe Ingredients

		Water - as needed
1 cup	93g / 3.3oz	Whole raw almonds
2 lbs	908g / 32oz	Green beans - ends trimmed,
		And strings removed
		Salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
2 tablespoons	30ml	Olive oil
2 tablespoons	30ml	Lemon juice
1 tablespoon	15ml	Toasted sesame oil
1 1/2 tablespoons	22ml	Freshly-chopped parsley
2 teaspoons	10ml	Freshly-chopped thyme

Recipe Instructions

Begin by blanching the almonds. In a small saucepan, place 3 inches of water, and bring to a boil. Add the almonds and cook for 1 minute. Remove the saucepan from the heat and set aside for 3 minutes to cool.

Remove the almonds from the water, squeeze each almond between your thumb and forefinger to remove the skin, and set them aside for 5 minutes to dry and cool. Using a sharp knife, split the almonds in half lengthwise, and set aside.

Place the green beans in a large steamer basket and steam for 3 to 5 minutes or until tender. Transfer the steamed green beans to a large bowl. Season the green beans to taste with salt and pepper, toss gently, and set aside.

In a non-stick skillet, place the olive oil and halved almonds, and cook the mixture over medium-high heat for 3 to 5 minutes or until the almonds are golden brown. Remove the skillet from the heat, add the remaining ingredients, and stir well to combine.

Pour the hot almond mixture over the green beans and toss well to thoroughly coat the beans with the mixture.

This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings.
