Green Beans with Toasted Almonds

Ingredients:
Green beans -- 1 pound
Sliced almonds -- a handful
Olive oil -- 1 tsp
Salt -- to taste

Procedure:
Toast the sliced almonds in a dry pan until they just start to brown.

In a skillet heat the olive oil. You can also use butter instead of olive oil.

Add the beans. Stir and cover with a lid and let the beans cook for a few minutes. Covering with a lid will speed up the cooking process.

When the beans start to soften up, but still have some crunch, remove lid and add salt. Mix well.

Remove from heat. Add the toasted almonds and serve. Makes a great healthy side dish.
