Wash and snap the green beans. In a Micro Wave safe steamer, steam the green beans in the micro wave for about 5 to 6 minutes and set aside. In a large skillet brown the bacon, then remove the bacon to drain. Leave the bacon grease in the skillet this will be the base for the Vinaigrette. Heat the bacon grease in the skillet and add the onion, garlic, pimento's, Agave, Dijon, and vinegar mix well and stir until onions are clear. When the onions are clear, add the green beans and toss in the vinaigrette heat until the green beans are heated through. Crumble the crisp bacon into the mix and stir well, salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the heat. To serve garnish with toasted almonds.
