Cook the beans in boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes or until tender. Drain and refresh in ice water to preserve their bright green color. Add the cheese and almonds to the beans and set aside.
Place the remaining ingredients in a small saucepan. Warm over low heat for 5 minutes. Set aside for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop. Strain and add to the bean mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Serve at room temperature.
