I originally saw this recipe on America's Test Kitchen, but I haven't been able to find it on their website. This is from memory:
2 lbs green beans
3 T butter
1/4 cup almonds
1 T lemon juice (to taste)
1/2 c water (to steam beans in)
"Caramelize" almonds in butter until they are brown. Transfer butter/almonds into one bowl, add lemon juice. Steam green beans. Top with the almond mixture.

Thought this would be a good side dish for a holiday table. The host of the show said that this dish was popular in the '60's!
Very pretty!
