Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, ends trimmed
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp chopped garlic
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds

  1.  In a large skillet, heat one tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Place the green beans in the pan and cook them for about five minutes, moving them around the pan using tongs. Add the salt and garlic and toss the green beans with them. Add the lemon juice and cover the pan with a lid. Steam the green beans in the lemon juice for five minutes.
