Garlic Green Beans with Toasted Almonds
SERVES 4
READY IN 10 MINUTES
A Christmas side dish is also very important and often neglected so I love to make sure mine are packed with flavour! Simple additions such as toasted almonds or lemon zest can really add to the textures and flavours. It’s a perfect way to get even the fussiest of eaters to eat their greens.
Make these for your family this Christmas time and let me know how it goes and share your recreations with #madeleineshaw.
