Ingredients

• 450 grams fresh green beans
• 200 grams button or cremini mushrooms
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and trim the green beans by snapping or cutting off the stem ends. Slice them into bite-sized pieces if desired.

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them thinly. Peel the onion, slice it in half, and cut into thin strips. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn soft and golden brown.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and start to brown slightly.

Step 7

In a separate pot, bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a generous pinch of salt. Blanch the green beans by boiling them for 3-4 minutes, then drain and immediately plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again after 1 minute.

Step 8

Add the blanched green beans to the skillet with the mushrooms and onions. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the vegetables and toss to combine.

Step 9

Season with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the green beans are tender and everything is well combined.

Step 10

Transfer the sautéed green beans, mushrooms, and onions to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
