Better late than never, I know I promised this to you FB fans out there on Saturday, but I was remiss because we were up later than I planned and I never got back to blogging since. Sorry about that! Anyway, this is a very tasty side we had with our turkey and mashed potatoes on Saturday for New Years Eve 2011. It's super simple and very good and I hope you enjoy!
Sauteed Green Beans with Garlic and Mushrooms
1 1/2 lbs of green beans, ends snapped off and larger beans snapped in half
2 tbsp olive oil
8 oz sliced button mushrooms
3 cloves garlic, minced very fine
1/4 c water
Heat skillet to medium heat and add oil to the pan. Add mushrooms and garlic and cook til mushrooms have shrunk to half volume. Add green beans and stir to combine, being careful to not let the beans fall over the side. Toss together til beans, garlic and mushrooms are well combined, and then add water and cover skillet with lid or aluminum foil to steam for about 5 minutes or til the water is fully evaporated and beans are tender. Serve hot with your favorite chicken or other protein and potatoes or rice. We made it with roast turkey and mashed potatoes and some of my homemade orange cranberry relish.

A chinese variation is to cook a little chicken with the green beans and then add a little soy sauce at the end. The garlic is so important! :)
