Provided by Karen

Categories     Vegetable

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb fresh green beans or 1 lb frozen green beans
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
6 tablespoons butter or 6 tablespoons margarine
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Cook green beans in water to cover until crisp-tender.
  • Meanwhile, in a skillet, saute mushrooms in butter until tender.
  • Add onion and garlic powders.
  • Drain beans, add to skillet and toss.
  • Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, vibrant green beans. Look for beans that are crisp and snap easily when you bend them. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
  • Trim the green beans before cooking. Remove the tough ends of the beans by snapping them off or cutting them off with a knife.
  • Blanch the green beans before sautéing them. This will help them retain their bright green color and crisp texture.
  • Use a large skillet or sauté pan for cooking the green beans. This will allow them to cook evenly without overcrowding.
  • Cook the green beans over medium-high heat. This will help them cook quickly and evenly.
  • Add the garlic and butter towards the end of cooking. This will prevent the garlic from burning and will allow the butter to melt and coat the green beans.
  • Season the green beans with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the green beans immediately. They are best enjoyed hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Garlic buttered green beans are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses.
