Green Beans Sauteed with Wild Mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 pound chanterelles or other wild mushrooms, cleaned and cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 pounds haricots verts or green beans, trimmed
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Meanwhile, heat the butter and the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until it becomes translucent.
- Add the mushrooms, cooking them until they give off their juices and then reabsorb them, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Keep the mushrooms warm on the stovetop.
- Add the beans to the boiling water and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until slightly tender (haricots verts will take less time than green beans).
- Drain.
- Transfer about half of the mushrooms to a small dish and keep warm.
- Add the beans to the mushrooms in the skillet and stir to combine.
- Mound the beans and mushrooms gently on a serving platter and top with the reserved mushrooms.
- Season again with salt and pepper.
