GARLIC SAUTÉED GREEN BEANS WITH DIJON VINAIGRETTE
Ingredients:
- 250g green beans
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ tsp olive oil (for cooking)
- Salt + pepper, to taste
- 30g almonds, chopped
- 25g fresh parsley, chopped
Dijon Vinaigrette
- 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- ½ tsp white wine vinegar
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp lemon juice
- Salt + pepper, to taste
Method:
- Wash, dry, and remove ends from green beans. Mince garlic, chop almonds, and chop parsley.
- Heat a large pan or skillet over medium heat and add olive oil and garlic. Sauté for ~2 minutes, until the garlic starts to brown. Add green beans and cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring every minute or two. Green beans should be tender but still crunchy when done.
- While green beans cook, make the Dijon vinaigrette by combining all vinaigrette ingredients into a jar and shaking vigorously. Set aside.
- Toast almonds in a separate pan. Heat over medium and add chopped almonds (no oil is needed). Stir almonds frequently, for about 7-10 minutes. Make sure not to burn – almonds should be lightly browned, toasted, and fragrant. Remove from heat once done.
- Top green beans with Dijon vinaigrette, toasted almonds, and chopped parsley. Mix everything together well and serve with lemon wedges (if desired). Feel free to add more salt + pepper if needed.
