Green Beans Almondine

This recipe is also from $5 Dinners, and was another side to go with our ham.

1 pound fresh green beans
2 teaspoon olive oil
¼ cup slivered almonds
Salt and pepper, to taste

1. Wash and cut the stems off of the greens beans. Pat dry.
2. In large skillet, sauté the green beans in the olive oil for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring often. After about 2 minutes of sautéing, add the slivered almonds and sauté them with the green beans for the
remaining 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (I sauteed these longer, as they were still very crisp after 4-5 minutes.)
