We have a great way to add a more interesting and vibrant flavor to green beans without adding tons of calories. Combine cooked beans with fried shallots and mushrooms. The more different mushrooms you use, the more interesting and rich the flavor, aroma, and texture will be. Button mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and/or chanterelles all work well. Serve the beans and mushrooms as a side dish with chicken or meat, or as a light yet very nutritious dish on its own.

Ingredients:

• 450g fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 2.5cm pieces.
• 1 tbsp. water
• 2 tbsp. l. olive oil
• 1/3 cup chopped shallots (about 2 medium onions)
• 300 g assorted fresh mushrooms (champignons, shiitake, chanterelles, oyster mushrooms), sliced

Preparation:

Step 1
• Place the green beans in a microwave-safe bowl with water. Cover tightly and microwave for 4 minutes. Carefully remove the lid and drain the beans in a colander, shaking off excess water.
Step 2
• While the beans are cooking, heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
• Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Add the green beans and stir to heat through; season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with the beef.
