1 lb fresh green beans
4 cups water salted
3 Tbs peanut oil
1 clove garlic mashed
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1 Tbs slivered almonds



Clean and trim the green beans. Simmer in lightly salted water until just tender, about 30-45 minutes. Drain and put in serving dish. Put remaining ingredients (except almonds) in a saucepan over medium heat and cook for two minutes, stirring constantly. Add the almonds and stir briefly to coat.

Pour the oil mixture over the green beans and toss gently until beans are thoroughly coated. Serve warm.
