Makes an ordinary dish of beans more interesting and the toasted almonds add a bit of crunchy texture.

question

What does "Tip in the beans" mean? Perhaps a type?

chew1ie

It means put the beans in the frying pan with the garlic.

Such a good way to serve green beans. I didn't have toasted flaked almonds so I blitzed some whole almonds in a food processor and fried them with the shallots to get their nutty flavour. Don't miss the lemon juice, it really enhances the dish.

Made it without the almonds and it was really tasty and easy.
