  • The mushrooms usually let out water while cooking.
  • Wait several minutes until the water evaporates and continue to sauté until the mushrooms are golden. Set aside. The ready sautéed mushrooms measure 1 cup.
  • Cook the green beans in water. If using frozen green beans, cook them according to the package instructions.
  • Fresh green beans should be covered with boiling water and cooked for about 3-5 minutes. Test them for tenderness. They should be tender but not too soft.
