Sautéed Green Beans with Tomatoes, Mushrooms & Garlic

Low-Carb Vegan

This versatile and easy side dish is a tasty way to showcase green beans. We boil the beans briefly before sautéing for perfectly crisp-tender vegetables that don’t get mushy.

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 12 ounces cremini mushrooms, quartered
  • ½ cup diced tomato
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper

Directions

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add beans and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain. Dry the pot.
  • Add oil to the pot and heat over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, tomato and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are heated through, about 5 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
