Instructions: Blanch the green beans in lightly salted boiling water just until tender and bright green, 3-4 minutes. Plunge them into cold water, drain when cool, and set aside.

Melt the butter in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the almonds, mustard, honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, shallots, and garlic, and saute gently for 2-3 minutes. Add the beans and continue cooking until theyre heated through, 3-5 minutes. Add salt and pepper and serve immediately.
