Good and easy, from Cook's magazine. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
4 medium shallots, thinly sliced |
1/2 lb mushroom, quartered |
1 lb green beans, trimmed |
2/3 cup heavy cream |
2 teaspoons lemon juice |
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme, minced |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Heat butter and oil over medium-high heat in large saute pan. Add shallots; saute until golden brown and crisp, about 7 minutes. Transfer with slotted spoon to paper towel-lined plate; set aside.
2. In same pan, bring mushrooms, green beans, cream, lemon juice, and thyme to strong simmer; season to taste with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender but still offer some resistance to the bite, 15-20 minutes.
3. Remove cover; simmer briskly to thicken cream if necessary. Adjust seasonings and transfer beans to large serving bowl. Garnish with fried shallots and serve immediately.
