String Beans with Shallots & Toasted Almonds

10 to 12 Servings

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds French string beans (haricots verts), ends removed
• 4 shallots, sliced
• zest of 1 lemon
• 1 cup sliced almonds
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Heat a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the almonds, shake and swirl until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Blanch the string beans in a large pot of boiling salted water for 3 minutes only. Drain immediately and immerse in a bowl of ice water.

Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet. Add lemon zest and shallots. Sauté on medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes, tossing occasionally, until shallots are lightly browned. Drain the string beans in a colander and 

add to the shallots with salt and the pepper, tossing well. Heat only until the beans are hot.

Transfer to a serving dish, scatter the almonds over top and serve.
