Recipe Instructions:

2 pounds green beans, trimmed
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 shallots, thinly sliced
freshly ground pepper, to taste

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water; pat dry and set aside.
Place almonds in a large frying pan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Return pan to heat and add butter and oil. Add the shallots and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and add beans. Cook, tossing constantly, until heated through and beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Season with pepper and stir in the reserved almonds. Serve immediately.
