Great and simple side!

This was one of the first dishes i learned in culinary school. It's simple, but with lots of flavor! Great post :)

Delicious!

Made this tonight with some beautiful green and purple beans from the farmers market. The toasted buttery almonds with crisp tender beans...awesome.

Very good and simple recipe

I enjoyed this recipe much. No complaints here!

One thing though. My wife and I didn't finish eating it all the first night and we reheated it the next. The almonds lost a lot of their crunchiness. Therefore, I suggest finishing it all the first time you make it.

A question for the chef about almonds

Regarding this recipe, I am interested in knowing whether or not blanched almonds are recommended for toasting or are only almonds with their skins on toasted successfully

Re: Almonds in Recipe

You could use slivered blanched almonds and toast them instead. The skins just add a nice contrast to the dish. Cheers!
