Green Beans with almonds and sage browned butter. This recipe takes ordinary green beans and elevates them to the extraordinary category. So Yummy!
The green beans in my garden went crazy this year. I got 3 crops total from one planting of green beans. My bean plants gave me close to 20 lbs of string beans off of a row of beans that was only 12 feet long. When they stopped putting out new beans, I would be about ready to pull out the plants and realize they were blooming again, and I would soon have another crop of beans. Go figure.
How to Make Browned Butter with Almonds:
About a year ago, I discovered browned butter, and I never looked back. Browned butter is a butter flavor on steroids for your cooking and baking.
Here is a quick video on how to make the browned butter with sage click here.
When you add the sage to the browned butter, add the almonds at the same time. Remove from the heat and continue to stir until the sage is crispy and the beans are slightly browned.
Cook the Green Beans, assemble, and serve these green beans with almonds and sage browned butter.
Put the beans in a kettle and cover them with water. Add salt, and cook until fork-tender. Drain the water from the beans and put them in a serving dish. Pour the browned butter with almonds over the beans and toss to coat. Serve as a side to Beef Brisket and enjoy it. BTW. make some extra browned butter with sage and dip some fresh bread in it or drizzle it over some pasta.
