Time 31m

Yield 6 servings, serving size 1/2 cup

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup sliced shallots (about 2 medium)
3/4 pound assorted fresh mushrooms, (ie: button, baby bella, shiitake, oyster, chanterelle), sliced

Steps:

  • Put green beans in a microwave-safe bowl with the water. Cover tightly and microwave on high for 4 minutes. Carefully remove the cover, drain in a colander, shaking off any excess water, and set aside.

These are awesome. I tried these one night at dinner with 6 people, and all agreed that they could eat these beans as the whole meal and forget everything else. I used pepper bacon which added a little more pizzazz.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and crisp. Avoid beans that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Trim the green beans: Trim the ends of the green beans before cooking. You can also blanch the beans for a few minutes in boiling water to help them retain their color.
  • Use good quality bacon: The bacon is one of the key ingredients in this dish, so make sure to use good quality bacon that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Cook the shallots until they are soft: Sauté the shallots in butter or olive oil until they are soft and translucent. This will help to bring out their flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the green beans, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Season to taste: Season the green beans with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder or onion powder, if desired.
