1-PAN GARLICKY GREEN BEANS WITH SLIVERED ALMONDS

Steps:

• Heat a large rimmed skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add almonds and salt and toast for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until toasted. Watch closely and be careful not to burn. Then remove from pan and set aside.
• Rinse and dry the green beans and remove any stems or rough ends with a knife or scissors.
• Heat the same large rimmed skillet from earlier over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the oil. Wait 1 minute for the oil to get hot, then add green beans. Season generously with salt and pepper (as the recipe is written, we recommend starting with 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper and working your way up from there).
• Cover and cook for about 8 minutes, stirring / tossing occasionally. You want the heat to remain high and the cover tight so the green beans get browned but also tender. Turn down heat slightly if they're close to burning.
• In the last few minutes of cooking, add the minced garlic and butter and toss to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes more, tossing frequently until garlic is fragrant and the green beans are golden brown and tender. Add the almonds and toss.
• Serve immediately. Best when fresh. Store leftovers covered up to 2-3 days in the refrigerator (not freezer friendly). Reheat on the stovetop over medium heat until hot.

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 5 minutes.
• After 5 minutes, drain the beans and blanch them in a bowl of cool (not iced) water. Drain them again and set them aside in a bowl.
• Return the skillet to the stovetop and melt the butter over medium-high heat.
• Add the beans to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add the lemon juice and sliced almonds (reserving some for using as garnish). Cook for an additional minute or until the beans are tender. Do not overcook.

THE BEST GREEN BEANS EVER

Steps:

• Snap the stem ends of the green beans, or cut them off in a big bunch with a knife if you'd prefer.
• Melt the bacon grease in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook for a minute. Then add the green beans and cook until the beans turn bright green, about a minute. Add the chicken broth, chopped red pepper, salt and pepper to taste. Turn the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid, leaving the lid cracked to allow steam to escape. Cook until the liquid evaporates and the beans are fairly soft, yet still a bit crisp, 20 to 30 minutes. You can add more chicken broth during the cooking process, but don't be afraid to let it all cook away so the onions and peppers can start to caramelize.
