🥕 Ingrédients

• Shallots: compared to onions, shallots have a more delicate and sweet flavour and aren’t overpowering in this recipe.
• Garlic: make sure to use fresh garlic in this recipe.
• Almonds: when it comes to almonds, you can use sliced almonds, slivered almonds or even just roughly chop some whole almonds.
• Lemon zest: just a hint of lemon zest adds brightness to the dish.

3. Add the green beans and lemon zest and saute for 3-4 minutes until the beans are tender.
4. Season with salt and pepper and then transfer to a serving dish.
