After seeing a commercial on the food network for pre made and frozen green beans and almond slivers, I decided I could probably make it and eat it… as long as it was covered in butter. So I chopped up some almonds (way too many) in my food processor, which didn’t really sliver them, I had varying sizes from dust to whole almonds, but it worked out ok.
After realizing I had to pick the ends off the green beans, I put the almonds aside and picked the green beans in front of the tv for what felt like forever. Also, I don’t think green beans are in season because these didn’t look too great. Anyway, boil those for about 2mins, maybe. I like them still crunchy, and not at all mushy.
After they’re done, mix butter, garlic, the almonds and the green beans together. First I tried this in a large mixing bowl, but that didn’t work at all. So into a tupperware they went and then they got all mixed up pretty well.
And just so you know, I didn’t only eat a pound of green beans for dinner (that might fly for pasta, but a vegetable? No way, not even one covered in butter). I also made some pork, which I will probably write up in just a couple minutes.

-1/2cup “slivered” almonds (originally I processed a whole cup and that was way too much, even 1/2 might be pushing it)
