Introduction

Crunchy almonds and sweet caramelized onions dress up your favorite green beans. A drizzle of balsamic adds a tangy contrast.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter or heart-healthy margarine
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 large white onion
4 cups frozen green beans
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup toasted slivered almonds


Directions

Cut the root and tip off the onion, slice it in half and remove the outer layers. Slice into half-moons.
Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is foamy, add the onions.
While the onions are cooking, heat the green beans according to package directions.
Add the pepper to the onions and cook for 15 minutes, stirring often, until the onions are golden brown.
Add the balsamic to the pan and stir well to combine. Cook another five minutes, until the balsamic has reduced by half.
Add the green beans to the pan and toss to combine.
Remove from heat and sprinkle on the almonds.
Serve immediately.

Serving Size: Serves 4. (3/4 cup per serving)
