Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 3 medium garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 pound green beans, stem ends snapped off, beans cut into 2-inch pieces
  • Sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 - 2 teaspoons juice from 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted

Directions
  1. Combine butter, paprika, and garlic in small bowl; set aside.
  2. Heat oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until just smoking. Add beans, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until spotty brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Add water, cover, and cook until beans are bright green and still crisp, about 2 minutes.
  3. Remove cover, increase heat to high and cook until water evaporates, about 1 minute.
  4. Add butter mixture and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until beans are crisp-tender, lightly brown, and beginning to wrinkle, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
  5. Transfer green beans to serving bowl, toss with lemon juice and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  6. Sprinkle with almonds and serve immediately.

I love the spanish twist on these green beans, with the smoked paprika and almonds. Smoked paprika is one of my most used and favorite spices :-)
