The roasted mushrooms tossed with slender French green beans make a rich but light side dish. Regular green beans and button mushrooms can be substituted. Ingredients:
2 pounds haricots verts, trimmed |
1 1/2 pounds assorted mushrooms, quartered (we tested with 6 packages of gourmet mushroom blend) |
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, divided |
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Place green beans in a large pot of boiling water, and cook 3 to 4 minutes or until crisp-tender. Immediately plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process. Cover and chill up to 2 days.
2. Combine mushrooms, 1 Tbsp. vinegar, and next 4 ingredients on a large rimmed baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Spread mushrooms in a single layer.
3. Roast at 425° for 20 to 25 minutes or until tender and browned, stirring once or twice. Reheat green beans in the microwave at HIGH 3 minutes or until hot. Combine green beans, roasted mushrooms, and remaining 1 Tbsp. vinegar; toss well.
