Green Beans, Mushrooms, and Walnuts
Email This Post
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 oz. sliced fresh mushrooms
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (Optional: toast lightly in a dry pan over medium heat until fragrant)
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Cook green beans in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain into colander; rinse green beans under cold water to stop cooking and keep their bright color; drain well. In large nonstick skillet over medium heat saute mushrooms in olive oil until tender and their juices have evaporated, about 8-10 minutes. Stir in green beans; heat through. Top with walnuts, cheese, salt, and pepper to taste.
