Ingredients
1½ pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt, plus more to taste
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced thick
1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced
1½ tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
¾ cup low-sodium chicken stock, plus extra if needed
Instructions
Arrange the green beans in an even layer in a large skillet.
Season with kosher salt and black pepper, then toss to coat.
Scatter the sliced mushrooms, red onion, and butter evenly over the green beans.
Pour the chicken stock into the skillet.
Place the skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally at first and more frequently as the liquid reduces.
Continue cooking until the green beans are tender-crisp and the mushrooms are coated in a rich, slightly thickened sauce.
If the beans are cooked but excess liquid remains, increase the heat to high to reduce the sauce more quickly.
If the liquid evaporates before the beans are tender, add additional chicken stock 2 tablespoons at a time as needed.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Serve immediately.
Notes
Cremini mushrooms provide a deeper flavor, but white button mushrooms may also be used.
Shallots can be substituted for red onion for a slightly milder taste.
For a vegetarian version, replace chicken stock with vegetable broth.
Avoid overcooking the green beans to maintain their bright color and crisp texture.
Fresh green beans work best, but frozen green beans may be used if thawed and drained.
Garnish with fresh parsley or toasted almonds for extra flavor and presentation.
