How to make Green beans amandine

2. Melt the butter in a large, deep frying pan over medium heat. Add the almonds and 1 tsp salt, stirring to coat. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and beginning to brown.

3. Add the green beans and lemon juice to the frying pan, stirring to coat. Cook for a further minute, or until warmed through.
