Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 large shallots, thinly sliced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes, until they are bright green and tender-crisp.

Step 2

Drain the green beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain and set aside.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and sizzling.

Step 4

Add the thinly sliced shallots to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are softened and beginning to caramelize.

Step 5

Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, just until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden and tender.

Step 7

Season the mushroom mixture with kosher salt and black pepper, then add the green beans to the skillet. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the green beans are warmed through.

Step 8

Optional: Sprinkle with lemon zest and fresh parsley for extra brightness and garnish before serving.

Step 9

Transfer the green beans with sautéed shallots, mushrooms, and garlic to a serving dish and serve warm.
