# Blistered Green Beans Almondine | Made In - Made In

Perfect for a holiday dinner or elegant weeknight side, these green beans bring fresh, bright flavors to your plate and come together in just half an hour.

Our Culinary Creative Director Rhoda Boone nails this classic French side dish of blanched green beans tossed with toasted almonds and shallots, traditionally referred to as Green Beans Almondine. Be sure to dry the beans before sauteing to bring out their full flavor. The lightly charred beans get a double hit of lemon at the end to keep things bright.

Using a pan like [Carbon Steel](https://madeincookware.com/products/blue-carbon-steel-frying-pan/12-inch-preseasoned) or [Stainless Clad](https://madeincookware.com/products/stainless-steel-frying-pan/12-inch) is essential to get the green beans nicely blistered, as the high-heat surface helps to brown the beans without burning them. To save time or if getting ahead for a party, blanch the [fresh green beans](https://madeincookware.com/blogs/how-to-cook-fresh-green-beans) up to a day ahead.
