Wild Mushrooms Frenchified Green Beans And Shallot Saute Recipes

SAUTEED GREEN BEANS AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• In a large saute pan, heat 3 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the haricot verts and season with salt and pepper. When they begin to brown, about 5 minutes, remove from the pan and add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil with the mushrooms. Brown the mushrooms, about 8 minutes, and then add the shallots, garlic, rosemary and chili flakes and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Return the beans to the pan and add the sherry vinegar. Stir in the mint and cook until just fragrant. Season as needed.

GREEN BEANS WITH MUSHROOM AND SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Put green beans in a microwave-safe bowl with the water. Cover tightly and microwave on high for 4 minutes. Carefully remove the cover, drain in a colander, shaking off any excess water, and set aside.
• While the beans are cooking, heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, until softened slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until the water they release has evaporated and they begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Add the green beans and stir to combine and rewarm. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

SAUTEED GREEN BEANS AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

SAUTEED WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Brush the caps of each mushroom with a clean sponge. Remove and discard the stems. Slice the small mushrooms thickly and cut the large ones in a large dice.
• Heat the olive oil in a large (11 - inch) Dutch oven or saucepan. Add the shallots and cook over low heat for 5 minutes, or until the shallots are translucent. Add the butter, mushrooms, salt, and pepper and cook over medium heat for 8 minutes, until they are tender and begin to release their juices, stirring often. Stir in the garlic and cook for 2 more minutes. Toss in the parsley, sprinkle with salt, and serve warm.

SAUTEED WILD MUSHROOMS WITH SHALLOTS AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Trim the mushrooms, wash them in cold water and drain well.
• If the mushrooms are large, slice them or cut them in halves or quarters.
• Heat a large, heavy skillet and add the olive oil. When it is very hot and almost smoking, add the mushrooms, salt and pepper. Cook over high heat, shaking and tossing the skillet so that the mushrooms cook evenly until they are browned and crisp. They should be almost mahogany in color.
• Add the butter, and quickly sprinkle in the bread crumbs, shallots and garlic, and toss well for 10 seconds. Add the parsley and serve immediately.
