Green Beans Amandine
Serves 4 | Vegan | Gluten-free | Grain-free | Soy-free | No Sugar Added | Refined sugar-free
Green beans amandine is a simple dish of sautéed green beans and garlic, toasted almonds and a squeeze of lemon. It is bright, citrusy and nutty for a healthy side dish worth sharing. My family loves this classic recipe.
Ingredients
- ½ cup slivered almonds
-3 tablespoons olive oil
-4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
-2 shallots, finely chopped
-1 lb (450g) green beans, trimmed
-½ teaspoon fine sea salt
-Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
-1 tablespoon lemon juice
-Zest of 1 lemon
Method
1. In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the almonds, stirring often, until fragrant and golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. (Keep a close watch on the almonds, as they can quickly go from lightly brown to burnt.) Set aside.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallots and cook, stirring frequently, until the shallots are softened, 2 to 4 minutes.
3. Increase the heat to high and add the green beans, salt, and pepper. Sauté the green beans until al dente, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour in the lemon juice, and sprinkle with the toasted almonds and lemon zest. Toss to combine. Serve hot.
Chickpea Salade Niçoise
Serves 4 | Vegan | Gluten-free | Grain-free | Nut-free | Soy-free | No Added Sugar | Refined sugar-free
This niçoise is fully loaded with hearty potatoes, seasoned chickpeas, colourful vegetables, and crispy lettuce. It is summery, crunchy, and full of flavours you would typically find in a salade niçoise from the South of France – one of my favourite places to visit. The freshness of this salad takes me back to the morning markets in the Old Town of Nice, where I used to buy the ingredients to prepare this vibrant salad. We loved to pack it in containers and picnic on the stony beach. Enjoy as a delicious healthy meal or side salad. Read More…
