- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp olive oil, divided
- 1/4 C water
- 24 oz petite (or regular) frozen green beans
- 20 lg fresh basil leaves, gently torn
- 1/3 C blanched slivered almonds, toasted
- 1 tsp cider vinegar
Directions
1.
Put garlic and 1 teaspoon of the oil in large pot and cook over medium heat until just beginning to turn golden brown, about 2 minutes.
2.
Add water and beans, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 10 minutes.
3.
Place 1 cup of the beans in small food processor along with basil, almonds, and vinegar. Pulse until mixture is thoroughly chopped and sticks together. Stir in remaining 1 teaspoon oil.
4.
Stir pureed mixture into remaining beans to coat. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
I used a little more olive oil than this called for because I thought it looked a little dry
Is this what you took to Thanksgiving dinner? That was so delicious. I thought you used fresh beans instead of frozen. Hope you’re feeling better!!!
Yep that’s them!! Good ol’ (Costco) frozen beans.
