I make my green beans and almonds similar to how I make my asparagus. Add butter and salt, steam everything together and enjoy! I try to use fresh green beans, but if you have to use frozen remember to adjust the cooking time. I have to admit, sometimes I change it up too... more butter, more garlic, more almonds, with bacon, without bacon etc. Depends on my mood and the mood of my taste buds I guess! This is a new (very, very simple) family favorite.
