  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 1 pound green beans, trimmed
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, pat dry and sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Fats & Oils

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Seasonings & Sauces

  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. Blanch Green Beans: In a medium pot, bring 5 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the green beans and blanch for 2-3 minutes until they are crisp-tender and bright green. Drain immediately and rinse under cold water to halt the cooking process. Set aside to use later.
  2. Cook Mushrooms: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until the butter starts to bubble, about 1 minute. Add the mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Let them cook without stirring for 2-3 minutes to allow browning. Then stir and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the mushrooms are golden and tender.
  3. Sauté Garlic: Stir in the finely chopped garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, infusing the dish with a rich garlic aroma.
  4. Combine and Finish: Add the blanched green beans back into the skillet along with the soy sauce and balsamic vinegar. Toss well to combine all ingredients thoroughly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the green beans are heated through and coated with the flavorful sauce.
  5. Serve: Transfer the sautéed green beans and mushrooms to a serving dish. Serve immediately while warm as a delicious, nutritious side dish to complement your meal.

Notes

  • Blanching the green beans before sautéing helps retain their vibrant color and crisp texture.
  • Patting the mushrooms dry before cooking prevents them from steaming and helps achieve a nice browning.
  • Adjust seasoning with extra salt or pepper if desired, depending on your taste preference.
  • Use gluten-free soy sauce to ensure the dish remains gluten-free.
  • You can substitute cremini mushrooms with white button mushrooms if preferred.
