Fixing frest green beans!?!


Question: Fixing frest green beans!!?
I need a quick and simple way to prepare fresh green beans!. I've never fixed them before but i've had them at different places and they are just delicious!. I mean I don't want to just heat them and put some pepper on them!. I'm having them tonight with turkey and mashed potatoes if that helps!.
Thanks so much!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

1 lbs green beans, trimmed of stem end
1/4 cup skin on sliced almonds (optional)
2 tbsp unsalted butter
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, sliced thin
1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme leaves (1 tsp if using dried thyme)
Freshly ground black pepper

Fill a large high sided skillet with some water, adding enough to be just shy of the rim of the pan by about 1 inch!. Place over high heat and bring up to boil; add a big pinch of salt and the green beans!. Cook for about 5 minutes, the beans should still be crisp!. Drain the beans and then run them under some cold water to stop them from cooking!. Reserve the beans while you start the onions!.

Return the skillet you cooked the beans in to the cook top over medium heat!. Add the almonds and toast stirring every now and then until golden, about 3 to 5 minutes!. Remove the almonds from the skillet and reserve!. Return the skillet to the heat and add the butter and olive oil and heat until the butter has melted!. Add the onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook stirring frequently until the onions caramelize, 20 to 25 minutes!. Add the thyme, and cook for another 5 minutes!. Add the cooked cooled green beans and almonds, and stir well to combine!. Season with salt and pepper, to taste!.
