Ingredients
- 300 grams Green beans
- 250 grams Mushrooms (button or cremini)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic glaze (optional)
- 1 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Trim the ends off the green beans and cut them in half if they are very long.
Step 2
Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them into even pieces.
Step 3
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 4
In a large skillet, bring 1 cup of water to a simmer over medium heat. Add the green beans and cover. Steam the green beans for about 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and have released their liquid.
Step 6
Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Step 7
Return the green beans to the skillet and toss them with the mushrooms. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the green beans are fully tender and everything is well coated.
Step 8
Drizzle balsamic glaze over the top if desired, and give it one final stir.
Step 9
Remove from heat and serve warm.
