I love fresh green beans, to the point that I eat them raw while snipping ends. I almost prefer them raw to being cooked, but this is a really good, cooked recipe. Try switching it up by using walnuts instead of almonds.

Cook's Tips:
- There’s nothing like a good pot of fresh green beans to brighten your meal. These are no exception. Green beans are a great source of vitamins and almonds are especially healthy. Try these beans as a side dish to any of your favorite main course meats. If I don't have good fresh green beans, frozen green beans can be used, just let them thaw before cooking them and adjust your cooking time to about 5 minutes.
