Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or olive oil
- 1 medium shallot, sliced into thin rings
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 pounds green beans, trimmed and cut into 1 to 2 inch pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 cup roughly chopped toasted almonds
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
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.
