Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh green beans
- 250 grams cremini mushrooms
- 4 units garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the green beans and trim off the ends. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Clean the cremini mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them into thin, even pieces.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt and become foamy.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet, stirring constantly for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the green beans to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and continue cooking for another 7-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms release their moisture and the green beans are tender but still crisp.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to combine.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the garlicky green beans with mushrooms to a serving dish.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm as a side dish.
