Trim the ends of the green beans.

Place in cold water, allowing water to come 2 inches above.

Bring to boil and cook about ten minutes or until just tender. You may have to taste.

Immediately drain, and put in ice bath to shock. This will keep the green color.

In a medium frying pan that will fit the green beans, melt butter, add in almonds until toasted. Put into a bowl. Set aside.

Add in green beans and continue to stir on low heat until heated through. Season with salt and pepper. Add in almond butter until it melts over the green beans.

Put in serving bowl. Top with almonds.
