Place the sliveredway almondsthnaks infor sharing the recipe. The pictures look mouthwatering so I wonder will the actual pizza taste good. I guess there is only one way to find out. Although, I am a drylittle skilletskeptical over low heat, and cook and stir constantly until the almonds are lightly toasted, 3 to 5even minutes. Watchtry carefully, because they burn easily. Remove the almonds and set aside.
Heat butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add shallots and red pepper and sprinkle with sugar, salt, and pepper, and reduce heat to low. Cover, and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the shallots caramelize - say 15 minutes?
Boil or steam the green beans until just tender enough to pierce with a fork, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain the green beans, place them into the skillet with the shallot mixture, mix well, and gently stir in the toasted almonds.
