Ingredients
  • 2 oz. sliced raw almonds
  • 1 tsp. butter (or extra virgin olive oil for lighter dish)
  • garlic salt to taste (be a little generous--it is okay)
  • 8 oz. fresh french green beans (thin green beans)
  • 1 tbsp. butter (or e.v. olive oil for a lighter dish)
  • 1/2 clove minced garlic
  • 1/8 tsp. dried tarragon
  • a pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. lemon juice
  • 1-2 oz. crumbled goat cheese

Directions
  1. In a small saute pan on medium heat, melt the butter for the almonds; let warm up until fragrant
  2. add almonds to coat bottom of pan in one layer. add garlic salt stir until almonds begin to brown. *note--do not leave...the almonds burn very quickly if you turn your attention away.
  3. when slightly brown (don't worry if some look a little anemic...better a little on he light side than burned), pour out onto a paper towel to dry/cool. spread them out so the paper can absorb any excess butter
  4. In the same pan (why dirty more dishes than you need to, right?), melt the butter for the beans on medium-high heat, add the beans, garlic, salt, pepper , lemon and tarragon, and saute until tender-crisp...about 4-6 minutes depending on how crispy you like them
  5. pour into a serving bowl, add the goat cheese, and toss to mix. Immediately plate and sprinkle with the almonds. Serve and enjoy!

That sounds like a delicious combination - love goat cheese, and melted into the warm seasoned green beans, it sounds perfect...printed and will try - thanks!


Love the sounds of this, and goat cheese is one of my favourites! Added this to the "Crazy about greens" group.
