I went to the store the other day to shop for a dinner party. I was hoping to make brussel sprouts for a vegetable, but was willing to wing it based on what vegetable looked best at the store (occasionally, the produce at Fresh and Green's is neither fresh nor green.) Turns out all the veggies there, even the winter veggies, were either super expensive or super sketchy. Even the butternut squash--oh, faithful butternut squash!--was off: they only had mongo squashs >6 lbs for sale! Yes, I bought one anyway. The only veggie that hit the trifecta of fresh, tender, and cheap were the green beans. So I bought them and came up with this simple but elegant recipe with a little help from my friends at Joy:
Put a medium-sized pot of water on the boil.
Rinse 1 lb green beans, removing the stems and sketchy bits.
Add a dash of salt to the water.
Boil green beans ~6", or until tender and bright green.
Meanwhile, toast 1/4c slivered almonds (place in ungreased skillet over medium-low heat. Toss/stir occasionally. Remove entire skillet from heat when they start to brown/become fragrant. They will cook slightly longer if you leave them in the pan, so remove them if you're close to burning.)
Back to the beans: drain the water.
Rinse green beans with cold water for a few seconds (you don't want to make them cold, you just want to lower the temp a little to stop their cooking.)
Splash with nut oil (I used hazelnut, at most 1T), toss to coat.
Sprinkle toasted almonds on top.
Serve.
