Method

Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add shallot and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.

Add ginger and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Add green beans and cook until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes.

Add thyme, salt, pepper and 3/4 cup water and cover.

Cook until beans begin to brighten in color, about 3 minutes, then remove the lid and increase the heat to high.

Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pan is dry and beans are tender, but still slightly crisp, about 6 minutes.

Transfer beans to a serving dish and top with chopped almonds.
