This recipe is one of those recipes that have it all. It’s delicious (that’s the main thing right?), simple, quick to prepare and good for our body – saut\u00e9ed green beans with mushrooms. The beans in the recipe are frozen, the kind I always keep in my freezer. The mushrooms are saut\u00e9ed with red onions, garlic and spices. Than adding the green beans, that are cooked shortly in boiling water prior to that. The preparation of the whole recipe takes 10 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n

A quick word about cleaning the mushrooms. A well-known rule is that you shouldn’t wash mushrooms in water. Rinsing mushrooms means the mushrooms will absorb water into it and damage their texture. As a rule, most edible mushrooms are grown in a sterile environment and do not need to be cleaned at all before use. But, admit I always clean mushrooms by wiping it with clean paper towel or a very clean kitchen towel. I also pluck the tip of their foot.<\/p>\n\n\n

How to make saut\u00e9ed green beans with mushrooms?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Start with the saut\u00e9ing of the mushrooms. In a wide pan, wide enough to later also contain the beans, heat olive oil. Add finely chopped red onion, a pinch of salt and black pepper and saut\u00e9 while stirring for 2 minutes. After that, add coarsely chopped mushrooms and saut\u00e9 for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms begin to sweat. Add chopped garlic, and lots of it, and cook for just one more minute, until you start to smell the garlic.<\/p>\n\n\n

At the same time, prepare the green beans. In the recipe I use frozen green beans, which have a short cooking time. The green beans are cooked in boiling water with half a teaspoon of salt, for 3 minutes. Start counting the time after the second boil. Then, strain the beans and add it to the mushroom mixture.<\/p>\n\n\n

Along with the green beans, add to the mushroom mixture soy sauce, sesame oil and lots and lots of black pepper. In my opinion there is no need to add salt beyond what we added, and the soy sauce is salty enough, but taste and check according to your personal taste. If necessary – add of course. If you don’t have sesame oil at home – buy it. Really. It’s a great product. Despite its name, it’s usually not used as an oil but as a spice, and it brings great Asian flavors. A small bottle will last you for loads and loads of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stir the mixture gently for a couple of minutes till evenly covered and that’s it. Already ready. You can eat it hot or cold. See the accurate recipe below.<\/p>\n\n\n
