SAUTEED GREEN BEANS AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Fill a large skillet with 1/2 inch water; bring to a boil, and salt generously. Prepare a large bowl of ice water.
• Add green beans to skillet; cover, and steam until crisp-tender, 5 to 10 minutes (time will depend on size and freshness of green beans). Transfer to ice water to cool; drain and pat dry (if making ahead, cover and refrigerate up to 1 day). Wipe skillet dry.
• In same skillet, heat butter over medium-high. Add mushrooms and shallots; season with salt and pepper. Cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms release their liquid, 3 to 5 minutes. Uncover, and continue to cook, tossing occasionally, until browned, 8 to 12 minutes more.
• Add green beans; cook just to heat through, 1 to 2 minutes.

ROASTED GREEN BEANS WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Combine first four ingredients on a jelly-roll pan coated with cooking spray.
• Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with thyme and pepper and toss well to coat.
• Roast for 30 minutes or until beans are lightly browned.
• Sprinkle with salt and toss to combine.

GREEN BEANS WITH MUSHROOM AND SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Put green beans in a microwave-safe bowl with the water. Cover tightly and microwave on high for 4 minutes. Carefully remove the cover, drain in a colander, shaking off any excess water, and set aside.
• While the beans are cooking, heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, until softened slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until the water they release has evaporated and they begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Add the green beans and stir to combine and rewarm. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

GREEN BEAN AND WILD MUSHROOM CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Make sauce: In a saucepan scald milk and bay leaf. In another saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and cook, whisking constantly, 2 minutes.
• Remove bay leaf from milk and slowly pour into butter-flour mixture, whisking constantly. Season, to taste, with mustard, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add cheddar, stirring until melted and smooth.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Fold green beans and mushrooms into sauce, then transfer to a buttered casserole. Sprinkle top with Parmesan and buttered bread crumbs. Bake 50 minutes, or until casserole is bubbly and topping is lightly browned.

SEARED WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a wide, heavy nonstick skillet or a wok over high heat. Add mushrooms. Let sear without moving for about 30 seconds, then toss and stir in the pan until they begin to sweat, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn heat to medium, add another tablespoon oil and onion or shallots and cook, stirring, until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add minced garlic, thyme and rosemary or sage. Season with salt and pepper and continue to cook over medium heat until mushrooms are soft, about 5 more minutes. Add wine and cook, stirring, until it is no longer visible in the pan. Taste and adjust seasoning. Remove from heat.
• Beat 1 of the eggs in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Heat an 8-inch nonstick omelet pan over medium-high heat until hot. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil, swirl pan, then add egg and swirl pan to coat evenly. Shake and tilt the pan and lift the edges of the egg pancake with a rubber spatula to allow egg to run underneath itself. When just about set flip over to briefly cook any runny egg on top, then transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining egg. Cut egg pancakes into strips.
• For bruschette, lightly toast bread and brush with olive oil. If desired, rub with a cut clove of garlic. Top with mushrooms. Sprinkle on Parmesan and egg strips, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve. For quinoa bowls, spoon quinoa into wide bowls and top with mushrooms. Sprinkle on Parmesan and egg strips. Garnish with chopped parsley, and serve.

GREEN BEANS AND MUSHROOM SAUTE

• In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add shallot, and cook, stirring, until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, and cook until tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add 3/4 cup water and green beans. Season with salt and pepper, stir to combine, and reduce heat to low. Cover, and cook until beans are crisp-tender, 7 to 10 minutes. If any liquid remains, raise heat, and cook until it evaporates.

GREEN BEANS WITH WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Combine dried porcini mushrooms and 1 cup boiling water in small bowl; let stand until porcini soften, about 30 minutes. Strain, reserving soaking liquid; coarsely chop porcini.
• Melt 4 tablespoons butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and sauté until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add fresh mushrooms and porcini and sauté until juices form, about 10 minutes. Add porcini soaking liquid, leaving any sediment behind. Stir until mushrooms are tender and juices evaporate, about 2 minutes. Season mushrooms to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer mushrooms to bowl.
• Cook green beans in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain. Cool green beans under cold water; drain well. (Mushrooms and green beans can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover mushrooms and refrigerate. Wrap green beans in paper towels, enclose in resealable plastic bag, then refrigerate.)
• Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add green beans and mushrooms. Cook until vegetables are heated through, stirring often, about 7 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper. Transfer vegetables to bowl and serve.
