In France, beans of this type are called Kenyan. And in England and America - French. Our indications differ: they are called both, and sometimes by color - just green. When preparing green French-Kenyan beans, it is important not to forget to cut off as many thin hard stalks as possible: they are little better than fish bones when they come across in a dish. And young peas in France are called mangetout - that is, completely edible. With all the stalks. To prevent the green color from turning brown after cooking, beans and young peas need to be cooled quickly - for example, in a bowl of water, into which a fair amount of ice has been thrown. Almonds need to be fried to such a state that they easily crumble with your teeth and at the same time do not have a charcoal taste. Instead of almonds, you can use other nuts or, for example, chestnuts. You can also use oil from other types of nuts instead of almond oil.
