1 - 340g bag green beans
⅓ cup sliced almonds
Juice of 1 lemon
1 garlic clove, grated
¼ cup olive oil
½ tsp salt
black pepper

1.  Boil a large pot of water over high heat. Trim the beans to remove the point ends and add to the boiling water. Cook
for 1½ minutes, then drain and transfer directly to a plate.
 
2.  At the same time, heat a small frying pan over medium heat and add the almonds. Cook for 3-5 minutes, tossing occasionally, until golden and nutty.
3.  Whisk together the lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and a few turns of black pepper in a small bowl. 
 Pour the dressing over the green beans and mix together.
4.  Top with almonds and drizzle with tahini just before serving.
