Green Bean Almondine: Tips for Success

• It takes a good pan to get Almondines just right. I like this American made, heirloom quality skillet (view here). 
• Bacon fat makes a tasty substitute for butter. 
• If you use thin, sliced almonds, lightly toast them in the skillet, and set aside, before you do anything else. Add them to the recipe during the last 5 minutes. 
• Would you rather step away from the stove, and cook green beans in a 350 degree oven, to coordinate with baking casseroles or meat?  The infographic, below, shows you how.
