Mushrooms + Shallots + Green Beans make a lovely and delicious side dish:  Green Beans with Mushrooms and Shallots

Green Beans with Mushrooms and Shallots

Sometimes simple is best.  And this is one of those super simple side dishes. Do you love mushrooms?  If you do, then I suggest whipping up these Green Beans with Mushrooms and Shallots.  Mushrooms cooked with fresh green beans add great flavor, and the shallots cooked in there too are just an added bonus!

You don’t need anything fancy to make this dish. The green beans are steamed in a steamer basket. And then you’ll sauté the shallots and mushrooms in a bit of olive oil while those are steaming.

Once softened up, the green beans are added to the cooked shallots and mushrooms.  An addition of salt and pepper completes the dish!

I love shallots in a dish like this because shallots have a milder flavor than onions and they don’t overpower the flavors of the vegetables.  This is a great side dish to steaks, chicken and other proteins.  Enjoy!

Green Beans with Mushrooms and Shallots

Simple green beans cooked in a skillet with shallots and mushrooms- delicious!

  • 1 pound fresh green beans, (trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 medium shallots, (sliced (about 1/3 cup))
  • 12 ounces assorted sliced fresh mushrooms
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper, (to taste)

  1. Place the green beans in a steamer insert placed in a pan above a small amount of boiling water. Cover and steam until tender but not squishy (or however you desire them to be).

  2. While the beans are steaming, heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, until softened slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until the water they release has evaporated and they begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Add the green beans and stir to combine and rewarm. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
