preparation
*You can substitute 1/2 teaspoon garlic pepper for these two spices, if you prefer. Place green beans and carrots in 2-inches of boiling water. Cover and cook until tender but still firm (about 15 minutes). Drain. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté sliced onion and mushrooms until almost tender. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 4 minutes. Stir in green beans, carrots and seasonings. Cover and cook an additional 5 minutes over medium heat. Optional: You may add some thin strips of red and/or yellow bell peppers with the onions and mushrooms, which provides additional color and flavor to an already great vegetable side dish. |
