If your grocer doesn't carry bags of pretrimmed green beans, start with 1 3/4 lb. of untrimmed beans to get an equivalent amount of beans called for here.
Love the lemon zest.
Excellent. Easy. Great because you can blanch green beans, grate lemon rind, and mince garlic the night before. Best to toast almonds at the last minute. Keep the green beans crisp, especially if guests take leftovers home. They will be able to reheat without getting mushy beans.
Rave reviews from my family, who are real food snobs, very easy recipe too
