“Every country possesses, it seems, the sort of cuisine it deserves, which is to say the sort of cuisine it is appreciative enough to want. I used to think that the notoriously bad cooking of the English was an example to the contrary, and that the English cook the way they do because, through sheer technical deficiency, they had not been able to master the art of cooking. I have discovered to my stupefaction that the English cook that way because that is the way they like it."

~ Waverly Root (1903-1982)

Shiitake Mushrooms With Green Beans Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

3/4 cup low-fat low-sodium chicken broth
= (can use homemade or canned broth)
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp minced shallots - (1 shallot)
1 cup sliced fresh green beans in 2" pieces, (abt 1/4 lb)
1 cup sliced stemmed shiitake mushrooms, (abt 1/4 lb)
1/4 tsp freshly-ground black pepper, or to taste

Recipe Instructions:

In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons broth to boiling. (Reserve remainder of broth.) Add the garlic and shallots; saute for 3 minutes.

If you have not already done so, trim the green beans of their stems, then slice them into 2-inch pieces.

If you are using dried mushrooms, you must rehydrate them. To do that, boil several cups of water. Then place the mushrooms in a heat-proof bowl and cover them with the boiling water. Let them sit in the boiling water -- off the stove -- for 10 minutes. Then take them out of the water and squeeze them a little to get the water out.

Whether using fresh or rehydrated dried mushrooms, remove the mushroom stems. Then remove any dirt with a mushroom brush or paper towel. (If you are using fresh mushrooms, do not soak them in water to remove dirt.)

Add the green beans and mushrooms to the skillet. Add remaining broth; cover and steam on high heat for 2 minutes. Green beans should be crisp and bright green. Add pepper to taste and serve.

This recipe yields 4 servings. Serving size: 1/2 cup beans and mushroom mixture.

Exchanges Per Serving: 1 Vegetable.

“Food for all is a necessity. Food should not be a merchandise, to be bought and sold as jewels are bought and sold by those who have the money to buy. Food is a human necessity, like water and air, it should be available.”
