Instructions
-
Begin by bringing a large skillet of salted water to a rolling boil, then add the green beans. Allow them to simmer in the boiling water for approximately 5 minutes, or until they are tender yet still vibrant and crisp. Once cooked, drain the beans and set them aside to retain their fresh flavor.
-
-
Return the skillet to medium heat and add the extra virgin olive oil along with 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and blend into the oil.
-
Next, introduce the diced onion to the skillet. Sauté the onions for about 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently until they become translucent and fragrant.
-
Add the minced garlic and sliced portobello mushrooms to the skillet, seasoning generously with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper. Continue to sauté the mixture for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, ensuring the mushrooms are tender and infused with the delightful flavors of the onion and garlic.
-
Once the mushrooms are cooked to your liking, return the reserved green beans to the skillet. Toss them gently with the mushroom mixture, allowing the flavors to meld together as they heat through.
-
Gradually pour in the dry sherry and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine all the ingredients thoroughly. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, letting the sherry reduce and intensify in flavor.
-
Finally, add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet, stirring it into the green bean and mushroom medley until it is fully melted and incorporated.
-
Carefully transfer the flavorful vegetables to a serving plate, presenting them beautifully to showcase their vibrant colors. Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious balance of flavors in this exquisite side dish.
