Ingredients:
1 1/4 lbs. Fresh green beans, trimmed
1 tsp. Butter
1/2 tsp. Shallot, minced
1 each Garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup Toasted sliced almonds
3 slices Bacon, cooked and chopped (optional)
Salt, to taste
Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Directions:
Blanch green beans in simmering, lightly salted water for 3 minutes or until slightly tender
yet firm. Remove green beans and immediately submerge in ice water to chill thoroughly.
This step halts the cooking process allowing vegetables to retain their crispness and color.
Melt butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add shallot and garlic, sauté until
translucent. Add blanched green beans, almonds and optional bacon. Sauté for 3 - 4 minutes while stirring. Season with salt and fresh ground black pepper. Transfer to a warm serving platter or bowl for service.
Yield: 4 - 6 Servings

The menu looks great! I hope everyone is feeling better in your household now.
I noticed you have had lots of posts with different versions of green bean recipes lately. Thought I would share one my sister-in-law makes. It is wonderful.
package of frozen green beans with the butter already added, think they are a Green Giant product. She puts them in a skillet and adds brown sugar and garlic salt or you could just used minced garlic as well I guess. The amounts are all to your taste and liking. They are the best beans I have ever had.
This is one dish I think I would like. The beans look sooo good!
