Green Beans, Water Chestnuts and Almonds

For the holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas - either one or both. Water chestnuts gives lovely crunch.

  • 1 1/2 lb green beans, stemmed
  • 1/2 cup  onion, sliced & quartered
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup water chestnuts, slivered
  • 1/4 cup almonds, slivered & toasted
  

Method

Cut green beans into 3" long pieces.  Making a diagonal cut is very elegant.  Steam until tender, about 10 minutes. Do not overcook or they lose their brilliant green.  Remove from heat & set aside.  

Heat oil in a large pot & saute the onions until soft, 5 minutes. Stir in reserved beans and water chestnuts. 

Transfer immediately to a serving dish, sprinkle with almonds & serve.
