Green beans were never a favorite vegetable of mine, until I tasted this version of them. Try to use fresh green beans, but frozen will work in a pinch. This is wonderful with asparagus also! Ingredients:
2 1/2 lbs fresh green beans |
3 cups water |
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms |
1/3 cup chopped onion |
1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 teaspoon basil |
1 teaspoon dried italian seasoning |
1/3 cup olive oil |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Wash beans, trim ends and remove strings.
2. Combine beans and water in a dutch oven.
3. Bring to a boil.
4. cover, reduce heat and simmer 6 to 8 minutes until crisp-tender.
5. drain.
6. Plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process.
7. Drain beans and set aside.
8. Saute mushrooms and next 7 ingredients in oil in a Dutch oven.
9. Stir in beans and cook until thoroughly heated.
10. sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
