Green beans almondine (amandine) is a classic French dish of green beans with almonds. Almondine is a culinary term for an almond garnish.\u00a0 This dish pairs very well with beef bourguignon and creamy mashed potatoes and is one of my guests\u2019 favourite recipes at the Aald Harbour Hoose. It\u2019s a green bean recipe for people who think they don\u2019t like green beans<\/strong> and for those that know they do.<\/p>\n This green beans recipe is for people who think they don\u2019t like green beans. <\/p>\n One of the fantastic things about serving dinners to my guests is that I get to create bespoke menus for them. I take into consideration any dietary requirements, and seasonal availability of ingredients, and I cook, basically, what I feel like cooking that day with what I can source.<\/p>\n My guests have no idea what they\u2019re getting until they sit down, and I serve it to them. <\/p>\n I was surprised at the number of people who tried this dish, and confessed afterwards that they\u2019d become converts to the wonderful world of this humble string vegetable.<\/p>\n It\u2019s the parboiling (it\u2019s important to do in this in heavily salted water) for 4 minutes exactly (I set the timer, using fine green beans. Lengthen the time if your beans are thicker). <\/p>\n Amandine:<\/strong> a French word often Anglicised as almondine; a culinary term\u00a0indicating a garnish of almonds<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n I began making this recipe as a side dish to accompany beef bourguignon made with locally sourced native Shetland beef. I\u2019ve also got a vegan mushroom bourguignon<\/a><\/strong> option, pictured below, for my guests with dietary requirements.<\/p>\n Kiln Blue echoes the movement and multi-faceted tones of waves.
