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.
