Recipes | Green Beans with Shiitake Mushrooms

This is my nephew’s favorite side dish for Thanksgiving. Easy to make and adds some color to your Thanksgiving plate.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter
  • 8 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, caps sliced
  • 2 shallots, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 pounds slender green beans, trimmed
  • 2/3 cup canned low-salt chicken broth

DIRECTIONS:

Melt 3 tablespoons butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shiitake mushrooms and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer mushrooms to medium bowl.

Melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter in same skillet. Add shallots and garlic and sauté until tender, about 2 minutes.

Add green beans and toss to coat with butter. Pour broth over green bean mixture. Cover and simmer until liquid evaporates and green beans are crisp-tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in shiitake mushrooms. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to platter and serve.
