  1. Blanch all the beans in a pan of simmering water for 2 mins over a medium-high heat. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Char the quartered lettuces for 5-6 mins, turning until all sides are charred. Transfer to a large platter.
  3. Add the blanched beans to the dry frying pan in batches for 3-4 mins, tossing regularly, until charred and tender. Add to the platter with the lettuce.
  4. Remove the hot pan from the heat and add the butter and lemon juice. Swirl together until melted, then add the chopped almonds; season. Pour the nutty butter over the charred greens to serve.
