Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    1 Cup Green Beans
    1 Cup Wax Beans (Yellow green beans)
    3 Garlic cloves, minced
    3 TBSP Extra virin olive oil
    8 oz of Wild Mushrooms
    Salt & Pepper
    Optional: 1 Shallot

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add green beans and wax beans and cook until tender-crisp, about 4 minutes. (Cook for another minute or two if you like your green beans more tender.) Drain well.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. If you want to add a shallot, add it now and cook with the garlic. Stir in mushrooms and cook, stirring, until they release their juices and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.

Reserve 1 tablespoon of the mushrooms for garnish. Add the cooked beans to the mushrooms in the pan and cook, stirring to combine, until heated through, 1 to 3 minutes. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Serve topped with the reserved mushrooms.
