Red Pepper Green Bean Almondine

• 3 cups fresh green beans, trimmed and halved
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/3 cup sliced almonds
• 2 cloves garlic, sliced
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
• 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add green beans and cook uncovered until bright green, about 3 minutes. Immerse green beans in ice water for 1 minute to stop the cooking process. Drain.
2. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted and bubbling, about 1 minute. Cook and stir almonds, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper in the hot butter until almonds are golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Stir green beans, red bell pepper, and mushrooms into the skillet; cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
