   1      c             Almonds -- sliced
   7                    Red bell peppers
   2      tb            Olive oil
   2 1/2  lb            Haricots verts or regular green
                        - beans

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a baking pan toast almonds in one layer in middle of oven 10 to 15
minutes, or until lightly colored. Cut bell peppers into 2"-long
strips. In a 12" heavy skillet heat 1 tb oil over moderate heat until
hot but not smoking and cook half of peppers, stirring frequently,
until crisp-tender, about 12 minutes. Transfer cooked peppers to a
serving bowl. Cook remaining peppers in remaining tb oil in same
manner and transfer to bowl.

In a 4-quart kettle half filled with boiling salted water cook beans
until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes for haricots verts or about
6 minutes for regular green beans. Drain beans in a colander and
transfer to bowl. Toss vegetables with almonds and salt and pepper to
taste.
