Tip : You can substitute prepared grated garlic which is available in jars, however, I find that fresh garlic has a better flavor.

Ingredients 

  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • drizzle of olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic grated on a plane
  • 4-6 large portobello or white mushrooms thinly sliced
  • 1/2 lb green beans trimmed
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Gather all recipe ingredients before starting the recipe.

  • Trim the ends from 1/2 lb green beans, place in a microwave proof dish, rinse under cold water, cover with cling wrap and microwave on high for 2 minutes or until the green beans are crisp tender. Drain and set aside until ready to use.
  • Thinly slice 4-6 large portobello or white mushrooms and set aside until ready to use.
  • Melt 1 tbsp unsalted butter and add a drizzle of olive oil in a medium sized skillet over medium heat. The mixture should just cover the bottom of the skillet.
  • Grate 2 cloves garlic into the skillet, stir to combine and sauté until the garlic becomes soft, about 3-4 minutes. Do not brown the garlic.
  • Add another drizzle of olive oil and sauté until the mushrooms lose most of their moisture and start to brown. Toss mushrooms to cover all sides with garlic/butter mixture and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Add the steamed green beans and toss again for 2-3 minutes or until the green beans have been warmed through.
