The crisp green beans in this recipe are served in an ajo blanco sauce made from almonds blended into a purée with garlic. Once cooked, dunk them in ice water to cool and preserve their colour. Toss with a drizzle of oil and a touch of red pepper flakes before plating them over the sauce and sprinkling them with toasted almonds. They're delicious served alongside pork chops with lemon and thyme.
