Lunch is quickly becoming my favorite meal of the day. At home by myself I can cook anything I'd like without having to worry about who will or won't like it. That's not to say I dislike cooking for my family, but it is nice just to cook for yourself sometimes.
I recently made a green bean and mushroom dish that was incredibly tasty. The original recipe can be found here at Cooks.com. I was cooking for one and don't follow directions well anyway, so here is my version of it for one person~
Sauteed Green Beans & Mushrooms
Ingredients:
- 2 big hands full of green beans
- 1 handful of sliced mushrooms
- Butter or olive oil
- 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 clove chopped garlic
- Salt & Pepper
- Dash of dill
- Splash of lemon juice
I boiled the green beans for about 5 minutes to soften them up a bit. You can do less if you like them nice and crisp. Set aside.
Saute mushrooms in the butter until they begin to soften and brown, add green beans, garlic and walnuts and saute for a few minutes. Add a dash of dill (maybe 1/2 tsp) and a splash of lemon juice. Salt and pepper to taste.
This was so good that I really can't wait to make it again. Such great flavor!
