Green Bean Casserole Salad
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 large (150g) shallot, thinly sliced
- 8 oz (227g) cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 medium garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1.5 lb (680g) green beans, trimmed
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 tbsp goat cheese
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Directions
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring frequently, until crisp and browned, 5–6 minutes. Watch carefully and reduce the heat if they begin to burn. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shallots to a small paper towel-lined plate, leaving the oil in the pan. Set aside.
Add the mushrooms and salt to the pan and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the green beans and 1/3 cup water. Cover the pan and simmer until the beans are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking until the liquid has almost completely evaporated, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the goat cheese and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with the crispy shallots, and serve immediately.
