Ingredients

1 lb fresh green beans, ends trimmed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/4 cup dried cranberries

Instructions

Bring a medium pot of lightly-salted water to a boil. Add green beans and boil 3-5 minutes until beans are crisp-tender. Drain beans and immediately plunge in ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain beans and set aside.
Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat, swirling occasionally 3-5 minutes until butter is a deep golden brown. Add green beans and sauté in butter 2-3 minutes until beans are heated through. Add garlic and rosemary and cook 1 additional minute until fragrant.
Season beans with salt and pepper to taste and garnish with blue cheese, cranberries, and almonds. Serve warm and enjoy!
