Ingredients

- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Directions
-
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
-
Add green beans and wax beans and cook until tender-crisp, about 4 minutes. (Cook for another minute or two if you like your green beans more tender.)

Drain well.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat.
-
Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir in mushrooms and cook, stirring, until they release their juices and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
-
Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.
-
Reserve 1 tablespoon of the mushrooms for garnish.
-
Add the cooked beans to the mushrooms in the pan and cook, stirring to combine, until heated through, 1 to 3 minutes.

Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.
-
Serve topped with the reserved mushrooms.
