A classic French appetizer that looks elegant and is ready in minutes. It's simply blanched green beans, sliced almonds, a pinch of nutmeg, and butter, in which everything is sautéed until wonderfully fragrant. The name "Amandine" means "with almonds"—it sounds as elegant as it looks. Serve these crispy, juicy beans as a side dish to fish, meat, or poultry. A dish like this always adds a festive touch to any table.
