Lemon Green Beans and Mushrooms

Lemon Green Beans and Mushrooms

These lemony green beans and mushrooms make an easy vegetable side dish that you can enjoy for holidays or busy weeknights alike. It’s so flavorful with tender green beans and savory mushrooms tossed in a bright and buttery white-wine lemon sauce. This simple recipe brings fresh flavor to your table!

Green beans and mushrooms is such a versatile side dish, festive enough for a holiday or a special meal along with balsamic roast chicken, yet quick enough to make on a weeknight with fast mains like strawberry balsamic salmon or almond crusted chicken. This recipe is based on one of my family’s traditional Christmas Eve side dishes, but these days, I’m known to throw it together on a random Tuesday.

The key to getting the best texture when cooking green beans—meaning crisp and slightly firm beans that are never soggy—is to lightly steam the beans and then cook them on the stove. This simple extra step enhances their flavor and offsets the tender mushrooms beautifully. A tangy lemon-wine sauce is the perfect finishing touch. We love this dish!

Ingredients:
  • 1 pound green beans, washed and ends snapped off
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter (half a stick)
  • 1 small onion or half of a medium onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or 1¼ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 8 oz. mushrooms, sliced
  • ½ cup dry white wine or chicken broth
  • Juice of one lemon (about ¼ cup)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
