Green Beans with Lemon and Toasted Almonds Recipe courtesy Rachael Ray
Show: 30 Minute Meals
Episode: Humdrum Buster
1 (2-ounce) package sliced almonds, found on baking aisle
1 pound green beans, trimmed
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 lemon, juiced
Salt and pepper
In a medium pan, toast almonds over medium heat. Remove from pan and add 1/2 inch water. Bring water to a boil, add beans and cover pan. Reduce heat. Cook beans 4 or 5 minutes until just tender yet still green. Drain beans and return pan to stovetop. Melt butter over moderate heat. Add lemon juice to butter (juice lemon half right side up to keep seeds with lemon, rather than in your beans). Add beans to lemon butter and coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer green beans to dinner plates or serving plate and top with almonds.

Lemon-Butter Green Beans with Pine nuts Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2005
Show: Emeril Live
Episode: Foolproof Romantic Dinner
1/3 pound fresh green beans, ends trimmed, blanched in boiling salted water
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon minced shallots
1 tablespoon pine nuts
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Pinch salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
Drain green beans well and pat dry.
Heat the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to keep from burning. Add the pine nuts and cook, stirring, for an additional minute. Add the green beans and toss to coat evenly. Cook just enough to warm through, about 1 minute. Add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper and toss to combine. Remove from the heat and serve immediately.
I CAN'T DECIDE.... ACK!!!! I think this is going to be good.
