A great side dish for roast duck.
French green beans
1 stick butter
2/3 cup sliced almonds (crushed under a rolling pin)
Salt, to taste
Snap the ends of both sides of the beans, leaving a whole bean (or cut in half in the middle of the bean).
In a large deep skillet add 1 1/2 - 2 cups of water and bring to a boil.
Add beans and quickly steam (turning beans frequently) for approximately 4-5 mins.
Drain beans.
In the same skillet melt butter and add beans.
Cover the skillet and reduce heat to a simmer (turning beans occasionally).
Cook on a low heat for approximately 6-7 minutes. Drain off excess butter.
Add crushed almonds and toss beans. Lightly salt and serve.
