Calories 90kcal
Equipment
- electric skillet recommended, but can use frying pan
Ingredients
- 800 g fresh green beans * I bought 2 (400g) pkgs, about 5- 6 cups
- 454 g container of fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 3 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 ½ tablespoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoon onion powder
- black pepper to taste
- ¼ teaspoon salt, depending on your liking * or alternatively, you can just use salted butter
Instructions
- Trim beans on both ends.
- Slice mushrooms (if you didn't purchase pre-sliced). I would recommend slicing them as thick as shown in the photo.
- Add green beans to cold water in large saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes until just tender (a fork can go through)
- Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat (or electric skillet) and sautee the mushrooms in butter for 1-2 minutes . Add garlic powder, onion powder and salt and cook stirring frequently for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Drain beans and add them to the skillet with the mushroom mixture and add if desired, additional garlic powder, onion powder or salt to taste. Add a little bit of pepper.
- Continue to sautee, stirring frequently (stir fry style) for about 5-8 more minutes (to combine flavors).
- Serve hot and enjoy!
