Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams green beans
- 250 grams cremini or button mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and trim the green beans, cutting off the ends if needed.
Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel or wash them briefly and pat dry, then slice them evenly.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and turn golden. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter to the skillet. Once the butter has melted, add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the green beans to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and stir to coat them in the garlic butter.
Pour in the water, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the green beans steam for 3-4 minutes, until they are bright green and slightly tender but still crisp.
Remove the lid, return the mushrooms to the skillet, and sauté everything together for another 2-3 minutes to combine flavors.
Drizzle the skillet with lemon juice and toss to coat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Transfer the sautéed green beans and mushrooms to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm.
