Sautéed Green Beans & Mushrooms
I used to avoid eating fresh green beans because of the texture, and because my only experience with them was a poorly undercooked version at restaurants. Seriously, they need to get it together because when you cook these lovelies correctly they are so good. They’re SO much better than their canned counterpart.
Ingredients needed
- 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 16 oz. fresh green beans
- 8 oz. fresh baby portobello mushrooms
- 1/2 tsp. minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. pepper
- 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
How to make sautéed green beans & mushrooms
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the garlic and sauté for about a minute.
- Add the green beans, mushrooms, and spices to the pan, stir to combine.

Recipe FAQs
- If you don’t have any butter on hand, use extra-virgin olive oil
- If you don’t have a nut allergy, add in a bit of slivered almonds or walnuts
- The key to cooking fresh green beans is to not overcook them while also not undercooking them. Keep the heat at a steady medium heat and stir frequently to get an even sauté on the beans.

When do you add in the mushrooms?
Hi! You’ll add them with the green beans. Thank you for catching that mistake; it’s been corrected within the recipe.
Not an issue to me however some people might have problems.
Your instructions does not indicate at all when to add or even to add mushrooms.
This is good though and made it several times.
