Ingredients You Will Need For This Recipe
Fresh green beans
I recommend only using fresh green beans for this recipe. They have a fresh crispness that is perfect and delicious!
Mushrooms
One of the best things to eat is mushrooms sauteed in butter, salt, pepper, and dried thyme. While this recipe doesn’t include dried thyme, they are still absolutely delicious! I highly recommend sauteing the mushrooms before adding in the green beans.
Lemon and Garlic
Fresh lemon juice and minced garlic add so much flavor to this green beans recipe! The lemon juice adds a bright tangy flavor to the green beans and the garlic compliments them both so nicely.
Butter
Saute in butter. A little bit of butter tastes so good.
Salt and pepper
Use enough salt. Fresh green beans really need salt. And freshly ground black pepper makes everything taste great!
