With its fancy name, green bean almondine is an elegant but simple side dish everyone will enjoy!

Ingredients

• 2 -3 bacon slices, cooked and crumbled
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (optional) *
• 1 big shallot, sliced
• 1 lb. green beans, cleaned and trimmed
• salt and pepper, to taste
• half a lemon, juiced
• 3 tablespoons sliced almonds

Instructions

1. Cook bacon until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon and set it aside.
2. To the same skillet without rising it, cook the shallots in the bacon fat over medium heat for about 3 minutes or until the shallots are tender (If you don't want to use the bacon fat, discard it and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet).
3. Add green beans to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook the green beans, stirring occasionally until they are to your desired tenderness.
4. Remove from the skillet and add to a serving plate. Squeeze the juice from half a lemon, then top with crumbled bacon and sliced almonds.
5. ENJOY!

Notes:

• I like to cook the green beans in the bacon fat as it provides more flavor. You can substitute the bacon fat for olive oil.
