INGREDIENTS:
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed (can substitute frozen)
1 Tbs cooking oil
1 tsp Rick's Rub Heat seasoning
small pat of butter
handful of sliced or slivered almonds
1 clove garlic, minced (optional)

METHOD:

1. In a preheated saute pan, pour cooking oil and swirl around, coating the bottom of the pan
   
2. Sprinkle 1 tsp of Rick's Rub Heat seasoning into hot oil and allow to cook to release flavour into oil. Turn down heat so seasonings don't burn
   
3. Add green beans to pan and allow to brown slightly. Slowly add a bit of water to pan and cover to allow beans to steam. Once beans are tender, remove lid and allow liquid to evaporate
   
4. Once liquid has evaporated, add butter, minced garlic, and almonds. Toss to incorporate and allow to cook until garlic is fragrant and almonds brown slightly
