Ingredients

  • 1 pound organic green beans, trimmed
  • 1 pound organic yellow wax beans, trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons organic extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves organic garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces organic wild mushrooms (such as chanterelle, oyster or porcini), trimmed and sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

  2. 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.)

  3. Drain well.

  4. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat.

  5. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  6. Stir in mushrooms and cook, stirring, until they release their juices and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.

  7. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.

  8. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the mushrooms for garnish.

  9. Add the cooked beans to the mushrooms in the pan and cook, stirring to combine, until heated through, 1 to 3 minutes.

  10. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.

  11. Serve topped with the reserved mushrooms.
