"No no no..... sorry, this is a dull recipe. To add layers of flavor and texture to this side dish:
mince just one garlic clove and add to the sauteed green beans. More importantly, do not just warm slivered almonds in the beans.
Take the slivered almonds and toast them til they are browned in a small sauce pan over medium high heat. This brings out the true wonderful flavor of the almonds. Sprinkle on top of the beans when serving. This keeps them firm and tasteful. If you just add to the beans, they become dull and soft. Doing these two things will make your beans amazingly delicious!
