Green Beans with Mushrooms and Shallots:

By tulawdog

Ingredients

• * Fresh green beans, ends trimmed
• 2 * 2 tsp olive oil
• * Button mushrooms, sliced
• 1/2 * 1/2 a small shallot, sliced into thin rings
• 2 * 2 cloves of garlic
• * Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Add the green beans to a pot of 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 olive oil in a 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. Enjoy.
