At #2. Making Brown Butter – see last sentence in paragraph. At this point the almonds are not toasted and may confuse some inexperienced cooks.

In reply to JoJo. Merci, Jojo! The Frencg absolutely adore butter, so there's usually plenty of it. If your tastes say to lessen it and add olive oil, by all means! Recipes should always just be a template for you to tweak to your tastes after trying them in their "original" state. So glad you enjoyed the dish.

This recipe turned out great and all ingredients work perfectly together especially the lemon zest and juice. I halved the recipe and also added a dash of red pepper flakes. I found the beans to be a tad greasy (dont get me wrong – I love butter) so I think that next time I may cut the butter and add a dash of olive oil after it is browned.

I made this dish for our Christmas dinner. It was delicious. My daughter’s boyfriend was with us, who is a chef, and said he made them recently but said his “weren’t this good.” Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes.
