Honestly? Veggies have no business being THIS good and THIS addictive. I was inspired by the old fashioned dish of green beans with almonds, but I gave it a modern and fresh revamp with this incredible crumble that’s so flavorful and full of fun textures – you really won’t be able to stop eating these.

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

• 2 lb fresh green beans, trimmed

Crumble:

Toggle ingredient group

• 2 Tablespoon oil
• 2 shallots, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 cup sliced raw almonds
• 2 Tablespoons sesame seeds
• 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 Tablespoon honey
• 1 Tablespoon mustard (I use spicy brown)

Instructions

1. Prepare green beans: place green beans into a pot of well-salted boiling water for one minute. Remove to an ice bath to cool then drain and set aside.
2. Prepare crumble: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add shallots and salt and cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes, until softened.
3. Add almonds and sesame seeds. Continue to cook, stirring often, for about 5 more minutes, until nuts and sesame seeds are toasted. Be careful to ensure they don’t burn.
4. Turn heat to low and add remaining ingredients. Stir until combined and remove from heat. To serve, either toss green beans with crumble or arrange green beans on a platter and top with crumble.

Notes

Plan ahead: each component can be prepared 2-3 days ahead of time. For best results, assemble fresh.
