I've been doing that one for ages. My version is simple:
Nuke the cut-up green beans in the micro, covered, with a TBSP or two of water. Saves all the nutrients that would get lost in boiling water.
Meantime, grind TAMARI almonds in the Cuisinart, not too fine.
Sauter the almonds in butter. When toasty but not burned, add the cooked beans, mix well, salt to taste. Consume!
The soy sauce flavor of the Tamari almonds makes all the diff.
