Holiday Almondine

Fresh green beans mingled with caramelized onions with a smattering of toasted almonds steals the holiday spotlight.

Ingredients

• ½ cup Sliced almonds (Toasted)
• 1 tbs Butter
• 1 tbs Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion (Chopped)
• 1 lb Fresh green beans (Whole and without stems)
• ½ tsp Garlic powder
• 1 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
• ¼ tsp Pepper
• ¼ tsp Salt

Instructions

1. Add olive oil and butter to a large sauté pan and heat on medium.
2. When butter is melted, add chopped onion and sprinkle with 1/8 tsp of salt. Cook until onions are slightly browned and soft (caramelized). If onions start to scorch or become too dry, add a little chicken or vegetable broth until moist.
3. Once onions are caramelized add green beans to the pan. Sprinkle with garlic powder, 1/8 tsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper. Stir together.
4. Add the remainder of the broth and bring to a gentle simmer, then cover until green beans are almost softened to desired consistency. (My kids like them al dente).
5. Remove lid to boil off extra liquid and finish cooking.
6. When cooked, add toasted almonds and toss together. Enjoy while it’s hot!
