Steps

15 mins

1

Heat a medium-sized pan until it is nearly smoking hot. Toast the almonds (move frequently so they toast evenly).
2

Add the green beans. The heat of the pan will scorch them slightly. This is fine.
3

Add a few splashes of water, just enough to create the steam that will cook the beans, but not so much that it cools down the pan.
4

Add the raisins and the ground clove.
5

Continue splashing water into the pan. Use just enough that it steams immediately, and wait until the pan heats up again before the next splash.
6

Place in a serving dish, and sprinkle with sea salt to taste.
