Description
A quick and delicious recipe for sautéed mushrooms and green beans, perfect as a side dish.
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (such as cremini or button)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again after a few minutes.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are browned and tender.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the mushrooms and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the blanched green beans, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are heated through.
- Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the mixture and toss to combine. Cook for an additional minute, then remove from heat.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider incorporating a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
- You can substitute the green beans with asparagus or broccoli for a different vegetable option.
