Best Sauteed String Beans With Almonds Weight Watchers Recipes
SAUTEED STRING BEANS WITH ALMONDS (WEIGHT WATCHERS)
This recipe was published on the WW site last year. I made it for Thanksgiving dinner and everyone loved it. According to WW, a 3/4 cup serving is 1 point. Prep time includes snapping the fresh green beans. If you're faster than me or you're using frozen green beans, it won't take as long. For variety, you can substitute pine nuts for the almonds. Toast the pine nuts the same as the almonds.

STRING BEANS WITH SHALLOTS
Steps:
- Blanch the string beans in a large pot of boiling salted water for 1 1/2 minutes only. Drain immediately and immerse in a bowl of ice water.

Drain the string beans and add to the shallots with 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper, tossing well. Heat only until the beans are hot.

FRENCH GREEN BEANS SAUTéED WITH MUSHROOMS AND ALMONDS
I created this Asian-inspired dish last night. It is permissible for phase one of the South Beach Diet and we LOVED it. I used frozen french beans from Trader Joe's, but fresh beans would be wonderful! Amounts are highly approximated; I didn't measure when making this, but this is pretty similar to what I did. (If using fresh beans, you'd probably want to blanch them in boiling water and then plunge in ice water, and *then* add to the pan.)

Steps:
- Heat oil over medium heat.
- Sauté garlic until soft, being careful not to let it burn.
- Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until they look fairly cooked and shiny (about 5 minutes).
- Add almonds and sauté for a couple more minutes.
- Finally, add frozen green beans and splash of soy sauce.
- Stir frequently until beans are just cooked and, of course, no longer frozen.
- If not on the south beach diet or watching sugar intake, you could add oyster sauce or other Asian condiment to the mixture.
