Green Beans with Almonds

In a Dutch oven cook green beans in boiling, lightly salted water about 8 minutes or just until tender; drain. Return beans to Dutch oven.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet cook almonds in hot oil over medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add garlic; cook and stir for 1 minute.

Add almond mixture, parsley, 1 tablespoon lemon peel, salt, and pepper to green beans; toss gently to coat. Transfer bean mixture to a serving dish. If desired, sprinkle with additional lemon peel.
