INGREDIENTS

  • 3 cups frozen green beans, thawed
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 Tbsp. Kerry Gold butter
  • 1/4 cup organic heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
  • 1/2 tsp pink Himalayan salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds – toasted on the stovetop in a small pan on medium heat until golden, or in the oven in a small pan for 5-10 minutes at 350˚F. Watch carefully.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350˚F. Cook green beans in microwave (5 min) or in a pan 5-10 minutes. Should be somewhat tender.
  2. Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add butter and melt. Add onion, mushroom and garlic, until cooked down.

  4. Place beans into an oven-proof pan (pie plate, foil pan, casserole dish) and bake for 10 minutes.
  5. Top with toasted almonds.
