Green Beans Amandine

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 20 min. YIELD: 4 servings.
It's hard to improve on the taste Mother Nature gives to fresh green beans, but Mom has done just that for years using this green beans amandine recipe. I have always thought the crunchy almonds were a super addition. —Brenda DuFresne, Midland, Michigan
