Ingredients:
- 800g frozen green beans
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp salt
- 75g margarine
- 100g slivered almonds
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Fill a saucepan with water and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add the frozen green beans and cook for about 2 minutes, just until they are crunchy. |
| 2 | Immediately rinse the cooked green beans under cold water to stop the cooking process and preserve their vibrant color and crunchiness. |
| 3 | Alternatively, you can opt to cook the green beans in the microwave for a few minutes until they are heated through. |
| 4 | In a separate pan, melt the margarine over medium heat. Once melted, add the slivered almonds and toast them until they begin to turn golden brown, releasing their nutty aroma. |
| 5 | As the almonds start to brown, add finely minced garlic to the pan, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Cook until the garlic becomes fragrant and slightly caramelized, infusing the margarine with its intense flavor. |
| 6 | Toss the cooked green beans into the pan with the garlic-infused margarine and almonds. Quickly toss the beans to coat them evenly with the flavorful mixture. |
| 7 | Transfer the garlic string / green beans to a serving dish and garnish with additional toasted almonds, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite! |
With its vibrant colors, enticing aroma, and delectable taste, these Garlic String / Green Beans are sure to become a favorite in your recipe collection. Whether you’re serving them as a side dish for a family dinner or bringing them to a potluck gathering, they’re bound to impress!
