I had a few fresh green beans that I needed to cook. I did not have enough for a meal, so I came up with this for a side dish. We loved it!

Not Your Everyday Green Beans

green beans,

butter

crimini mushrooms, chopped

salt and pepper

almond

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the green beans in the butter for 5 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper; continue to cook until the beans are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the almonds just before serving.


I decided to kick these up just a notch by adding celery onions and garlic to the saute. Fantastic!!! Had to ding it a star because it wouldn't have been as good without the additions. And DO NOT skip toasted almonds! Great mix of flavors and textures in this dish try my suggested additions! Forget the title I'd eat these everyday!

Loved these green beans. Easy to make. I did roast the sliced almonds as recommended by other reviewers. The second time i made these: even better! Added fresh minced garlic to the sauté as a personal preference. Used regular mushrooms as they were what I had. Delicious. Loved the flavors and the crunch. Thank you.

Nice Vegetarian easy cooking. For a dorm with only a microwave steam the green beans in 2 minute intervals in a bag with the muchrooms etc. then add the butter and pepper stuff.

I steamed the beans for a couple of minutes before adding to the pan but I shouldn't have. It was still great but the beans were overcooked. I added the onion as recommended and probably more mushrooms. It was EXCELLENT! I toasted the slivered almonds in a pan over very low heat. They were excellent too.

A pretty basic green bean recipe but very good and easy. Make sure you toast the almonds. Bacon and some caramelized onions would be great in this also.

Delicious! I didn't have any almonds and it was still great!

Really good recipe. I doubled it for a family event; added 1 caramelized onion should have used 2. Also added 2-3 cloves of minced garlic while cooking. Added toasted almonds and diced fried bacon as suggested by other reviewers. After I tasted it I added grated Parmesan cheese over the top. That completed the tasty experience!

This dish was devoured at my work potluck. Simple but everyone loves it. My only confusion is that there are no onions in the recipe but there seems to be a lot in the picture of this dish.
