Servings: 4
- 1 pound green beans
- 1/3 cup slivered almonds
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 Tbsp water
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 large zest of lemon
- 1/2 cup feta
Steam green beans in a lidded pan in 1/2 cup water on high heat for 2-3 minutes until bright green. Drain and run under cold water for 30 seconds.
Zest 1 lemon and chop up the zest. Set aside. Squeeze the lemon and save juice.
Saute 1/3 cup of slivered almonds in 2 Tablespoons of butter on medium to low heat to avoid burning. About 10 minutes.
Add the 2 Tablespoons of water and lemon juice to the pan to make the sauce. Mix the sauce with a wooden spoon for 30 seconds and turn off heat.
Add the green beans to the pan and season with the salt and pepper. Coat the green beans in the lemon and almond butter sauce.
Plate the green beans and top with the crumbled feta and the chopped lemon zest. Serve with lemon wedges and more feta. Enjoy!
The lemon zest adds a great kick.
The pepper is optional.
The feta is salty so not much extra salt is needed, but adjust according to taste.
