Green Beans and Mushrooms
A quick sauté of steamed green beans and mushrooms, ready in just 10 minutes, is an easy weeknight side dish!
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 (12-oz.) bag steam-in-the-bag prewashed green beans (see notes)
- 1 (8-oz.) package white button mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- kosher salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional)
Instructions
- Steam the green beans in the microwave according to the package directions, taking off about 30 seconds of time (since you'll be sautéing them as well).
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet pan. Add the mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, until they've browned and released most of their moisture.
- Add the steamed green beans, season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
- Add butter if desired and allow to melt over the vegetables. Serve hot.
Notes
Green beans: I use the steam-in-the-bag green beans that come in a bag. You could also get loose green beans, wash and trim them, and then steam them in a steamer basket for this recipe. Or even use canned or frozen green beans, if you prefer those.
Mushrooms: Regular white button mushrooms are my go-to, and I tend to buy them regularly. You could also use baby bella mushrooms or cremini mushrooms in this recipe. Feel free to buy them sliced to save some extra time.
Olive oil: This is used to saute the sliced mushrooms, but you could certainly substitute butter for richness.
