Green Beans with Caramelized Onions and Almonds

Kosher salt
3 lbs green beans, trimmed
1/2 cup skin on Sliced Almonds
3 Tablespoons unsalted Butter
5 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 Large Onions, sliced thin
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh Thyme
Pepper

Fill a skillet with water (1 inch from the top).  Bring to a boil.  Add salt and the green beans.  Cook for 5 minutes. The beans should still be crisp.  Drain the beans and run them under cold water to stop cooking. Reserve the beans. Return the skillet and add the almonds and toast, stirring until golden, about 3-5 minutes.  Remove almonds.  Add the butter and olive oil to the skillet and heat until the butter has melted.  Add the onions and season with salt & pepper, cook, stirring frequently until the onions are caramelized, 20-25 minutes.  Add the thyme and cook another 5 minutes.  Add the beans and almonds.  Stir until combined.  Season with salt & pepper to taste.  Enjoy!
