This is a delightful low FODMAP side dish. It is surprisingly quick and easy, but the addition of the almonds lifts the green beans to new heights.

Method:

Top and tail the green beans and cut into 2.5cm pieces.

Cook in boiling water for 2 minutes then drain.

Add the olive oil and the garlic clove to a frying pan and heat gently for a minute, then remove the garlic.

Add the almonds to the pan and fry for a minute or two until golden.

Stir in the beans and cook gently until beans are tender.

• the FODMAPs (fructans) from the garlic do not permeate the oil.
