Servings: 6
Prep time: 10-15 minutes
Cook time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pound yellow wax beans, ends trimmed
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup (about 3 ounces) whole blanched almonds, coarsely chopped
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
1. Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 tablespoon of the salt and the wax beans, return to a boil, and cook until just tender, about 3 minutes.
2. Drain and plunge into a bowl of ice water. Drain again and set aside.
3. Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the almonds and cook, stirring often, until they begin to turn golden but not brown, about 2 minutes.
4. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with the remaining salt and the pepper. Place the beans in a large bowl, toss with the almonds, and serve.
