Green Bean and Mushroom Saute


Green Bean and Mushroom Sauté

Here’s a nice little side that I like to make. Goes pretty well with just about anything.

Ingredients

Green Beans

Diced Onion

Sliced Mushrooms

Cherry tomatoes

Garlic

Chicken Stock

Olive oil

Lemon Juice

Salt and Pepper

Procedure

  1. Blanch the green beans for about five minutes in lightly salted boiling water then put them in ice water to cool.
  2. Sauté the onions for a couple minutes, then add the mushrooms for a couple minutes, then the green beans for a couple minutes, then the garlic and halved cherry tomatoes and sauté for about another 30 secs, don’t want to sauté the tomatoes for too long or they will turn to mush.
  3. Add about ¼ cup or so of chicken stock and continue to let the mix simmer for about 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Finish with a squeeze of lemon at the end and some chopped parsley.
  5. Voila! Green bean and mushroom sauté.
