Directions:
Melt 2 T of the butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add the almonds and cook until lightly browned, tossing frequently. Transfer them with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels.

Add the green beans, garlic, and salt to the pan. Toss to coat with butter. Add the water and simmer until the beans are tender, about 15 minutes. The liquid should be reduced to about 1/4 cup or less. If there's too much liquid, increase the heat and boil until it is reduced. Add the remaining butter and toss to coat. Add salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste. Top with slivered almonds.
