Another Recipe

I am always looking for new ways to 'dress up' the vegetable side dishes for the family; just a little something different from the tired ol' usual vegetable. This green bean recipe was one I found on a Publix Apron's Simple Meal card. It meets all of my requirements for a recipe: simple ingredients, quick & easy, and tasty.

Sesame Green Beans
serves 4

• 12 oz fresh green beans (rinsed)
• 1 cup pre-sliced baby portabella mushrooms (rinsed)
• 1 Tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp sesame seeds
• 1/2 tsp seasoned salt

Place green beans and mushrooms in microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on HIGH 8-10 minutes or until beans reach desired tenderness (it took my microwave 15 min). Stir in remaining ingredients; cover and set aside for 2 minutes. Serve.

I served the green beans with sweet and sour chicken and we all enjoyed them (well, everyone but Will who refused to try them, but that is just par for the course with him).
