Lemony Green Beans With Almond Breadcrumbs
Serves 6

1/2 cup blanched and slivered almonds
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup whole wheat (or plain) Panko breadcrumbs
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
Flaky sea salt
Pepper
1 1/2 pounds french green beans, trimmed

Lightly toast almonds in a skillet over medium heat. Let cool, then transfer to a food processor and grind to the consistency of breadcrumbs.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, almonds, breadcrumbs, and lemon zest and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and golden. Remove from heat and stir in parsley.

Place lemon juice in a small bowl and slowly whisk in the remaining olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add green beans and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain green beans, return to the pot, and toss with the vinaigrette.

To serve, arrange green beans on a platter, drizzling with the lemony vinaigrette that’s left at the bottom of the pot. Sprinkle almond and breadcrumb mixture on top.
