Ingredients

1 bag green beans
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1 lemon juiced
4 links chicken sausage sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
4 cloves garlic minced
1 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 tsp paprika add more to taste
1/4 tsp pepper add more to taste
1/2 tsp salt add more to taste
red pepper flakes pinch

Instructions

In a medium lipped skillet ( as seen in picture & linked here) fill it with water, leave about 1-2 inches from the top. Bring to a boil, then add in the green beans. Blanch for 4 minutes, the immediately add to a strainer & run cold water over them until they become bowl & set aside in strainer.
In the same skillet, wipe out with the towel to dry. Then place back on frying pan at medium heat, add in the butter & the almonds, turn back down to medium low heat. then mix around with a spatula to coat almonds. Cook until almonds get nice & toasty brown.
Next add in the shallots & garlic with the butter & almonds. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until they all start to meld together, then add in the sliced chicken sausage rounds. Turn down lower if you are afraid the almonds with start to burn, cook them all together for about 4-6 minutes. Then add in the green beans. Season with paprika, salt & pepper, pinch of red pepper flakes.
Squeeze over the green bean mixture the lemon juice & continue to cook down for another 2-3 minutes. Continue to mix with spatula, add anymore seasonings if need be. Then make sure all lemon juice is absorbed. Add onto plate with choice of side... ours is this AMAZING Irish nacho recipe linked here... enjoy guys!! A combo for the books, I'm telling you, nothing but raved reviews. :)
