Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh green beans
- 200 grams cremini or button mushrooms
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Trim the ends of the green beans and cut them in half if they are long. Wash thoroughly and set aside.
Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them thinly.
Core and seed the red and yellow bell peppers, then cut them into thin strips.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and lightly salt it. Add the green beans and blanch them for 3 minutes. Drain immediately and transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes until they release their moisture and become lightly browned.
Stir in the bell peppers and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened but still vibrant.
Add the blanched green beans to the skillet and toss everything together. Stir in the soy sauce, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, if using.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until everything is well combined and heated through.
Remove from heat and adjust seasoning, if needed. Serve warm as a side dish or as part of a main meal.
