Notes: Use wide Italian, skinny haricot vert, plump blue lake, or Chinese long beans. Up to 1 day ahead, cover cool sauce and chill. Reheat to serve. To serve 12, double recipe and allow about 30 minutes. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon butter or margarine |
1/2 cup finely chopped onion |
2 cups finely chopped mushrooms (about 1/2 lb.) |
1 1/2 pounds green beans, ends trimmed |
1 teaspoon cornstarch |
1/4 cup dry sherry |
about 2 teaspoons soy sauce |
2 teaspoons asian (toasted) sesame oil (optional) |
Directions:
1. In a 10- to 12-inch frying pan over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add onion and stir often until tinged with brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add mushrooms. Stir often until mushrooms are lightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a 4- to 5-quart covered pan, bring 3 quarts water to a boil over high heat. Add beans and cook, uncovered, until tender-crisp when pierced, 6 to 12 minutes, depending on variety. Drain beans and put in a shallow serving dish.
3. Blend cornstarch with 1/3 cup water, dry sherry, and 2 teaspoons soy. Add to mushroom mixture and stir over high heat until boiling. Add sesame oil.
4. Pour sauce over beans. Add soy sauce to taste.
