under 30 minutes

ingredients

1 1/2 pound green beans, stemmed
1/2 cup onion, sliced & quartered
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup water chestnuts, slivered
1/4 cup almonds, slivered & toasted

directions

Cut green beans into 3" long pieces. Making a diagonal cut is very elegant. Steam until tender, about 10 minutes. Do not overcook or they lose their brilliant green. Remove from heat and set aside.

Heat oil in a large pot and saute the onions until soft, 5 minutes. Stir in reserved beans and water chestnuts.

Transfer immediately to a serving dish, sprinkle with almonds and serve.
