Fresh Green Beans
in a Garlic Sauce

I make this grean bean dish to
serve along with a pork roast.
It goes well with the tasty pork.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs. green beans
4 oz. fresh Shitake mushrooms
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley, chopped
pinch of fresh basil and oregano, minced
pinch of red pepper flakes
1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
8 cloves garlic, peeled

Directions:
In a saucepan, bring 5 cups water
to a boil with 1 tablespoon salt.
Add fresh green beans,ends removed.
Boil beans for 4-5 minutes,
until tender but not overcooked.
When tender, shock beans in a bowl
of ice water to prevent overcooking
and retain bright green color.
Remove after 30 seconds and let drain.
In a large heavy bottom skillet,
heat olive oil with cloves
of garlic and mushrooms.
Saute until garlic becomes tan,
but not brown. Mash garlic into
oil with the tines of a fork.
Add cooled beans, parsley, butter
and remaining ingredients.
Toss with cheese and bread crumbs
and serve when butter has melted.
