Equipment

  • pot
  • sauté pan

Ingredients
  

Vegetables

  • 1 pound green beans, fresh or frozen, cut into 1-inch pieces if fresh, remove ends, if frozen get pre-cut
  • 1 pound mushrooms (cremini, button, shiitake), thickly sliced I used a combination of ¾ lb of cremini and ¼ pound of shiitake mushrooms.
  • ½ cup onions, chopped

Seasoning and Other Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Cooking Method

  • Put 2 quarts of water, salted with 1 tablespoon of salt, in a pot to boil while you cut the mushrooms and onions.
  • Heat a large sauté pan on medium high heat. Add the mushrooms to the pan and dry sauté them until they begin to release their water. Sprinkle them with a little salt. Once they have released most of their water, remove them to a bowl and set aside.
  • Add the green beans to the boiling water, and time them for 5 minutes, or until just tender. (No need to defrost frozen beans.)
  • Add butter to the hot sauté pan. Once the butter has melted, add the onions. Cook until the onions are beginning to brown.
  • As soon as the green beans are cooked just tender, strain them. Add the mushrooms to the pan with the onions, then add the green beans.
  • Remove from heat. Stir in the sour cream. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and add more salt if needed. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Notes
