Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Large skillet

Ingredients

  • ½ lb fresh green beans ends trimmed
  • 1 tbsp butter or olive oil
  • 8 oz button mushrooms sliced
  • ½ small shallot sliced into thin rings
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Add the green beans to a large pot of well-salted boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes.
  • Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking and to retain the bright green color. Set aside.
  • Heat the butter or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and let them cook (without stirring) for 3-4 minutes; stir and add the shallots to the skillet.
  • Cook the shallots and mushrooms for 2 minutes before adding the minced garlic and green beans.
  • Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute or until the green beans are nice and hot. Season with sea salt and pepper, to taste. Serve and enjoy.
