Sage Green Beans

Adapted from “Epicurious” November 2010

  • 2 lbs green beans, trimmed
  • 1 tbs olive oil
  • ½ cup chopped fresh sage
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup toasted Almonds, chopped

Heat large skillet over medium heat. Add oil and cook sage until it begins to blacken (approx. 3 min). Add garlic and cook until golden (approx. 2 min). Add beans and salt: toss to coat. Carefully add 1 cup water. Steam until beans are fork-tender and most of the water has evaporated (4 to 5 min). Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle Almonds and serve.

To toast Almonds:

Place almonds in a small skillet over med heat and toast for 2 min.
