Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 large white onion
4 cups frozen green beans
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup toasted slivered almonds
Tips
Alternate serving suggestion: Simmer the balsamic in a small saucepan until it has reduced by half. If you drag the spoon through the pan and the line remains, it's ready. Drizzle over the green beans just before serving, as we did in the photo.
Directions
Cut the root and tip off the onion, slice it in half and remove the outer layers. Slice into half-moons.
Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is foamy, add the onions.
While the onions are cooking, heat the green beans according to package directions.
Add the pepper to the onions and cook for 15 minutes, stirring often, until the onions are golden brown.
Add the balsamic to the pan and stir well to combine. Cook another five minutes, until the balsamic has reduced by half.
Add the green beans to the pan and toss to combine.
Remove from heat and sprinkle on the almonds.
Serve immediately.

8 of 17 people found this review helpfulUsing fresh ingredients instead of the Sponsored company's product will ensure that it is a healthier alternative. The frozen veggies will have unnecessary ingredients; which is not what this site is all about. Not rated as I have not tried this version - frozen or fresh. - 2/4/13
