This is a classic American side dish courtesy of the American Heart Association.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 lb fresh green beans (about 3 cups)
1 teaspoon light margarine
1/4 cup vegetable broth
1 tablespoon fresh oregano
fresh ground pepper
1 cup frozen pearl onions
2 tablespoons sliced almonds
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs

Directions

1
Trim green beans and slice into 2-inch sections.
2
In a large nonstick skillet, heat margarine over medium-high heat.
3
Add green beans and sauté 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly so beans cook evenly.
4
Add broth, oregano, and pepper; sauté for 20 to 30 seconds.
5
Add onions. Cook, covered, over medium-low heat for 6 to 8 minutes, or until beans are tender-crisp.
6
Meanwhile, in a small nonstick pan over medium heat, dry-roast almonds, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes.
7
Sprinkle bread crumbs and almonds over cooked beans and serve.

Terrific! I thought these were wonderful! I used fresh beans and half a fresh chopped onion. Also, I used water in place of broth (I added some salt and a few herbs to try to make up for it...) I skipped the breadcrumbs like another reviewer suggested and didn't think it lacked anything. This was really easy and it went together so fast. I think I have finally found a recipe that makes me like fresh green beans.

So easy and so good, Thanks Carla for a recipe I used at our Thanksgiving table, just that little something special to serve on a holiday. I did use frozen green beans, but they where good and don't think I missed anything in the final outcome. Everyone at the table enjoyed these, I'll certainly be making them again.

These make a nice and healthy way to prepare green beans. I used butter in place of the margarine and did sprinkle lightly with salt before serving. I like the addition of the almonds but think I would leave off the bread crumbs next time around. The bread crumbs were my Seasoned Breadcrumb Mix.
