    Green beans amandine is an easy vegetable perfect for any occasion. It is made with fresh, frozen or canned green beans (Please… do yourself a favor and use fresh!) Amandine is a culinary term that refers to a garnish of almonds. It is often misspelled in American cookbooks to almondine, according to wikipedia.

    Can you make green beans almondine ahead?

    Partially! The best part about this dish is that it can be made in less than 10 minutes the day you serve it, thanks to pre-blanching the green beans the day before!

    How to make it

    1. Trim ends of green beans.
    2. Place green beans in frying pan with just a little water on the bottom. Steam for about 3 minutes.
    3. Drain the rest of the water from pan. Add almonds and butter and heat on medium high, just until almonds are lightly toasted.

    Notes

    ***Notes***
    • Fresh green beans are definitely best. You can use frozen or canned, but fresh is best.
    • A very hot pan is important to get a nice golden brown on the nuts.
    • Reheat in microwave or in small frying pan.
    • Leftovers can be kept 4 days, but they are best fresh.

      This is one of my favorite classic holiday side dishes. Toasting the almonds in butter adds a nutty richness to the dish. Yummy!
