Yield: 5 servings
2 tablespoons reduced-fat margarine or light butter
1 pound frozen French cut green beans, unthawed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1. Place the margarine or butter in a large skillet and place over
medium-high heat just until the margarine or butter is melted.
2. Add the green beans and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Cover and
cook, stirring occasionally, for about 6 to 8 minutes, or until the
beans are cooked crisp-tender. Reduce the heat to medium if necessary,
to prevent the beans from browning.
3. Stir in the almonds, and serve hot.
