Orange Tarragon Green Beans
- Details
Here’s a fresh twist on a classic French recipe! Green beans almondine is a delicious light veggie dish, equally suited as a standalone snack or alongside a heartier meal. Our version uses Orange Tarragon Pepper and Provençal salt together for a complimentary combination of seasoning.
Both of these blends are herb-forward with subtle floral notes, lending them an aroma reminiscent of a classic French bistro. We finished the dish by adding in barberries alongside the toasted almonds, giving the dish a tart kick that complements the citrus in the spice blends.
