Ingredients

• 450 grams fresh green beans
• 200 grams cremini mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. Slice the cremini mushrooms into thick slices and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch them for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and just tender. Drain them and transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Once the butter melts, add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until the mushrooms are golden brown.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the blanched green beans to the skillet with the mushrooms. Toss to combine.

Step 6

Sprinkle the mixture with fresh thyme leaves, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to evenly coat the vegetables with the herbs and seasoning.

Step 7

Cook for 3-4 minutes until the green beans are heated through and the flavors are well combined. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 8

Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm as a side to your favorite main course.
