French Green Beans Sautéed With Mushrooms and Almonds image

I created this Asian-inspired dish last night. It is permissible for phase one of the South Beach Diet and we LOVED it. I used frozen french beans from Trader Joe's, but fresh beans would be wonderful! Amounts are highly approximated; I didn't measure when making this, but this is pretty similar to what I did. (If using fresh beans, you'd probably want to blanch them in boiling water and then plunge in ice water, and *then* add to the pan.)

Time 35m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 -3 garlic cloves
6 large button mushrooms, sliced
1/2-3/4 cup whole almond (more or less to taste and to fit your dieting goals)
1/2 lb frozen French-cut green beans (like those found at Trader Joe's but any would work, including fresh, also, you may want to add more)
soy sauce, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oil over medium heat.
  • Sauté garlic until soft, being careful not to let it burn.
  • Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until they look fairly cooked and shiny (about 5 minutes).
  • Add almonds and sauté for a couple more minutes.
  • Finally, add frozen green beans and splash of soy sauce.
  • Stir frequently until beans are just cooked and, of course, no longer frozen.
  • If not on the south beach diet or watching sugar intake, you could add oyster sauce or other Asian condiment to the mixture.
