Ingredients
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1 1/2 pounds green, yellow, or purple beans
3 or 4 wedges Preserved Lemon (see notes)
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 or 2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
In a 5- to 6-quart pan over medium-low heat, toast almonds, stirring until golden, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from pan.
Add about 2 quarts water to pan and bring to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, rinse beans and trim off stem ends. Add beans to boiling water and cook just until barely tender to bite, 3 to 6 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water until cool.
Rinse preserved lemon thoroughly under running water; discard seeds and pulp. Finely chop lemon and put in a large bowl. Stir in rosemary, olive oil, and garlic, then add beans and salt and pepper to taste.
Just before serving, mix in almonds.
