Directions

Blanch the green beans in salted boiling water for 3-5 minutes, until they are just tender but still crisp. Drain and run under cold water. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a wide saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to turn golden, about 5-8 minutes.
Add the sliced mushrooms and some salt. Saute until the mushrooms lose their water and begin to wilt. Add the apple cider vinegar and continue to cook for 5 minutes.
Add the cooked green beans to the mushrooms and cook until the beans are heated through. Taste for seasoning then serve topped with toasted almonds.

Chef Tips

If in a hurry, use frozen whole green beans. Cook them straight from the freezer and they’ll have all the taste and nutrients of fresh.
