This sounds yummy and anxious to try it, but I have a question. The recipe calls for slivered almonds, but the almonds shown in the photo are sliced. Does it matter which I use?

Simple easy way to make a beautiful side dish The recipe was straightforward I didn't use the shallots but the blanching and then putting the green beans into ice for the key to toasted slivered almonds in the butter it was a hit thank you

In reply to SueS. The lemon, butter, and almonds will add flavor. I understand having to avoid certain foods. I hope you still enjoy

Hi there! I’ve made this and It is a fabulous recipe! But it has been a while since I made it though. Question, I need stay away from onions, shallots and garlic (I know, how boring... I love all of these!) how will this turn out without?

A delightful recipe that I serve quite often. I also modify it slightly depending on the main dish. With Cajun (blackened) halibut I'll add 1 tsp of dark maple syrup to the pan when sautéing, to add a hint of sweetness that melds with the bite of the fish, and when serving with a classic roast chicken I'll garnish the almondine with fried shallots. But it always starts with the simple classic!
