Description

Tender green beans and savory mushrooms sautéed in a rich garlic butter sauce with a hint of lemon for a fresh, vibrant side dish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1. Trim and rinse the green beans, then set aside.

2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter until melted.

3. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

4. Add mushrooms and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned.

5. Add green beans, season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine.

6. Cover and cook for 5–7 minutes until green beans are tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.

7. Remove lid and add remaining tablespoon of butter, stirring until melted and coating the vegetables.

8. Stir in lemon juice and mix well.

9. Remove from heat, transfer to a serving dish, and garnish with parsley if desired.


Notes

Add crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of heat.

Try cremini or shiitake mushrooms for deeper flavor.

Substitute butter with plant-based alternatives for a vegan version.

Pairs well with roasted meats or grilled fish.
