2 lbs. fresh or frozen green beans
1 sm. onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. ground coriander
1/4 c. toasted slivered almonds

Trim fresh beans. In a large saucepan cook fresh beans, covered in a small amount of boiling water for 10-12 minutes or until crisp-tender. (For frozen beans, cook covered, in 1 cup boiling water for 7 minutes.)

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan cook onion and garlic in oil until tender. Stir in the cumin, coriander, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Cook one minute more. Toss onion mixture with beans. Makes 12 servings.
