Green Beans with Melted Shallots

Name: Green Beans with Melted Shallots
Ingredients: 1 large shallots, sliced; 1 lb green beans, trimmed; 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted; 2 tbs lemon juice; 2 tbs butter

A play on green bean almondine. Slowly cooking the shallots in the butter makes a great tasting sauce for the green beans with the acid from the lemon juice cutting the fat. Almonds provide the traditional crunch. Great side for a hunk of meat.

Serves 4-6
