Fresh Green Beans - cooking recipe

Ingredients

30 -40 fresh green beans
5 -6 drops almond extract
1 ounce slivered almonds

Preparation

Clean the beans, \"tip and toe\" them, and cut to 1\" lengths.
Boil salted water in a pot and add the almond extract when boiling.
Place the beans and almond slivers in a steaming basket and cook until just about done (still some \"crunch\" left in the bean, but not chewy).
