Green Beans with Toasted Almonds

Buttery toasted almonds play up the oaky undertones of this Chardonnay. Serve as a side dish with chicken, fish or turkey.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

1 pound fresh French green beans
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup slivered almonds

Method

Place washed and trimmed beans in a microwave dish with ¼ cup water. Cover and cook on high 7 minutes or until tender crisp.

Heat a large skillet pan over low heat, and toast the almonds in the dry pan until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Set almonds aside in a small bowl. Melt the unsalted butter over medium heat, and cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in the green beans and almonds and cook until the beans are warmed through, season with salt and pepper.
