Ok ya'll, seriously, I am failing as a blogger. I will do better. Promise!
So much is happening in and around my world and heart that it would take forever to explain it. Long story, short: God is awesome. God has healed my heart and I moved on to better things. But that's a story for another post.
I wanted to share with ya'll a delicious, healthy, simple recipe. It's called Green Bean Almondine and its simply amazing! Brooklyn, who happens to be the biggest junk food junkie, loves this stuff!
Here are your ingredients:
2 cups of fresh green beans
2 tsp unsalted - extra virgin olive oil butter
1/2 cup chopped green onion/shallots
1/4 cup silvered almonds
(you can buy the almonds whole and slice them yourself or but them pre-sliced like I do)
4-6 cups of water
Put butter in a small saucepan with heat on med-low.
Boil about 4-6 cups water in medium saucepan on high heat.
Add shallots/green onion to small saucepan
Add silvered almonds to small saucepan. Saute. I prefer mine a tad bit burnt...I think it adds more flavor.
Check the water, make sure its boiling real good. Add fresh green beans and parboil for 2 minutes or until they turn light green. If you boil them much longer and they turn dark, they lose tons of nutrients that gives them their life force.
Drain green beans
Rinse green beans with cool water until they are lukewarm.
This is what my mixture in the small saucepan looks like when its done.
Put green beans in your dish, add the mixture from the small saucepan.
Voila! The end result! Green Bean Almondine! Delish!!!
Enjoy!!!
