Green Beans with Slivered Almonds & Onions

This is a delicious dish that Jason made for me last week. He served it with salmon.
I came home and had to make it right away!

Ingredients

1 lb green beans
2 strips bacon
2 Cloves garlic
1/2 an onion
Handful of slivered almonds (or walnuts)
Red Pepper Flakes
Salt
Butter
Sugar

Directions

Cut off the tails of the beans, wash in cold water. Heat a saucepan water with a shake of salt, once boiling drip the beans in (whole) and cook for 6 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a pan, sauté 2 strips of bacon until crisp, lay aside on a paper towel
In the same pan saute 1/2 a chopped onion, add chopped garlic (2 cloves), towards the end add a handful of slivered almonds, a shake of red pepper flakes and 1/2 a teaspoon sugar. In a saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon butter, add the beans and the onion mixture and 1/2 a teaspoon salt. Stir and cook over medium low heat covered for 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Omelette

Ingredients

3 eggs
1/4 teasp. Salt
Shake of pepper
2 tablespoons milk/ cream or almond milk (if dairy free)
1 tablespoon butter

Directions

Crack the eggs in a bowl
Add salt, pepper and milk (or heavy cream or dairy free milk)
Beat well till fluffy.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, pour in the egg mixture and with a spatula, gently move the egg mixture to one side. It will start to thicken and fluff up. Once the egg is beginning to brown on one side, flip the omelette and continue cooking until the omelette is lightly browned on the other side

For variations, add cheese during the middle of cooking (grated cheddar) or sliced cooked mushrooms, or cooked asparagus. Or use all three!

This recipe is good for 1-2 people.
Just increase the amount of eggs and use a larger pan if feeding more people.
