Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 pound green beans -- ends trimmed

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

MAKES 6 SERVINGS

 

Here's a really easy green bean dish. The Marsala gives it a rich taste,

just right for a holiday dinner.

 

Lay green beans in steamer of choice; cover. Steam over high heat until

beans are crisp-tender, about 15 minutes.

 

While beans are steaming, heat oil over high beat in a large nonstick

skillet. Add garlic; cook, stirring, until garlic is cooked through but

not brown. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring and flipping, until mushrooms

exude moisture and begin to brown, about 7 minutes. Add seasonings and

wine or sherry; stir. Continue cooking until alcohol evaporates, 1 to 2

minutes. Cover with lid; set aside.

 

When beans are steamed, transfer to a serving plate. Pour mushrooms over

top. Serve immediately

 

VARIATIONS: Serve steamed green beans drizzled with a mixture of fresh

lemon juice and extra-virgin olive oil. Add salt and black pepper to

taste. Or chill steamed green beans, then toss in a vinaigrette and serve

on a bed of crisp lettuces.
