GREEN BEANS WITH SHERRIED MUSHROOMS
This is a great side dish. I got it from a 'Canadian Living' magazine. The recipe calls for you to blanch the beans but I steamed them. It still tasted great, just be sure not overcook the beans. I used fresh beans, I don't know how well frozen beans would work.

Tips:
- Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, wash and trim the green beans, slice the mushrooms, and mince the garlic. This will help the cooking process go more smoothly.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh green beans and mushrooms will give you the best flavor. If you can't find fresh green beans, frozen beans will work, but they may not be as crisp.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the green beans and mushrooms, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the green beans and mushrooms in batches: If you have a lot of green beans and mushrooms, you may need to cook them in batches. This will ensure that they all cook evenly.
- Season to taste: Once the green beans and mushrooms are cooked, season them to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
Conclusion:
Sherried green beans and mushrooms are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sherry adds a subtle sweetness and richness to the dish, while the green beans and mushrooms provide a crunchy and flavorful contrast. This dish can be served hot or cold, and it is also a great addition to a potluck or buffet.
