Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash the green beans thoroughly and trim the ends.
Clean the baby bella mushrooms and slice them into thick slices.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a mixing bowl, combine the green beans, mushrooms, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
If using a coffee can, prepare the can by ensuring it is clean and removing any labels. Add the vegetable mixture to the can and cover it tightly with aluminum foil. If using a grill bag, place the vegetable mixture inside the bag and seal it tightly.
Preheat your grill to medium heat.
Place the coffee can or grill bag on the grill grates. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, shaking the can or flipping the grill bag halfway through, until the green beans are tender and the mushrooms are cooked through.
Carefully remove the coffee can or grill bag from the grill using heatproof gloves or tongs.
Open the can or bag carefully, as steam will escape. Stir in the butter and lemon zest to coat the vegetables evenly.
Transfer the green beans and mushrooms to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
