Green Beans with Toasted Almond Gremolata
Photo: Karry Hosford
For a restaurant-caliber presentation, leave the green beans whole, and toss with toasted almonds, garlic, lemon rind, and fresh parsley. The garnish (without the nuts) is called gremolata and typically accompanies the veal dish osso buco but it also can add great flavor to steamed vegetables.
How to Make It
Steam beans, covered, 7 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and return to pan. Add parsley and remaining ingredients; toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.

The lemon flavor paired so nicely with the beans and I loved the crunch from the almonds. We'll definitely put this recipe on the keeper list.
