Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 large shallots, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes, until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
Drain the green beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain and set aside.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and sizzling.
Add the thinly sliced shallots to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are softened and beginning to caramelize.
Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden and tender.
Season the mushroom mixture with kosher salt and black pepper, then add the green beans to the skillet. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the green beans are warmed through.
Optional: Sprinkle with lemon zest and fresh parsley for extra brightness and garnish before serving.
Transfer the green beans with sautéed shallots, mushrooms, and garlic to a serving dish and serve warm.
