Method
5 steps · about 20 min- Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Cook the green beans for 3–4 minutes until bright green and just tender, then drain well.
- Meanwhile, toast the sliced almonds in a dry large frying pan over medium heat for 3–4 minutes, stirring, until golden. Tip into a bowl.
- Add the olive oil and garlic to the same pan over medium-low heat and cook for 1 minute, stirring, until fragrant and just turning golden.
- Add the drained beans, iodised salt and pepper and toss for 1–2 minutes until hot and coated in the garlicky oil.
- Take off the heat, toss with the lemon juice and toasted almonds and serve straight away.
