Sautéed Green Beans with Mushrooms
Ingredients:
- 10 oz (250g) frozen green beans
- 7 oz (200g) button or cremini mushrooms cleaned and coarsely chopped
- 1 small (or ½ large) red onion finely chopped
- 4-5 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp soy sauce (use gluten-free if needed)
- 2 tbsp sesame oil (use gluten-free if needed)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- For cooking the green beans: a pot of boiling water with ½ tsp salt
Instructions:
- Clean the mushrooms: Wipe clean with a paper towel or a very clean kitchen towel, and slice roughly.
- Sauté the onion: Heat a wide skillet with the olive oil. Add the chopped red onion, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of pepper, and sauté, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and garlic: Add the mushrooms and sauté for another 2 minutes, stirring. Add the garlic and cook for one more minute, until fragrant.
- Cook the green beans: At the same time, bring a pot of water with ½ tsp salt to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3 minutes from the moment it returns to a boil. Drain.
- Combine and finish: Transfer the green beans to the pan with the mushroom mixture. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix gently until everything is evenly coated, and cook for another minute. Serve hot or cold.
Notes:
- Fresh green beans work instead of frozen, just adjust the cooking time as needed.
- Taste before adding extra salt, the soy sauce is already quite salty.
