Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g fresh green beans
- 250 g cremini mushrooms (sliced)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
Trim the ends off the green beans and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and unsalted butter.
Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and brown slightly.
In the meantime, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch for 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
Drain the green beans from the ice water and add them to the skillet with the mushrooms.
Sprinkle the mixture with fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything to combine and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
If desired, add a splash of lemon juice for brightness and stir well.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving platter. Serve warm as a side dish.
