Green beans were never a favorite vegetable of mine, until I tasted this version of them. Try to use fresh green beans, but frozen will work in a pinch. This is wonderful with asparagus also!

2 1/2 lbs fresh green beans
3 cups water
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Directions

1
Wash beans, trim ends and remove strings.
2
Combine beans and water in a dutch oven.
3
Bring to a boil.
4
cover, reduce heat and simmer 6 to 8 minutes until crisp-tender.
5
drain.
6
Plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process.
7
Drain beans and set aside.
8
Saute mushrooms and next 7 ingredients in oil in a Dutch oven.
9

Fantastic!! Thanks for sharing Yooper!! We found that 1/4 of EVOO was plenty, but we did use a little more salt. Will make this often.

I loved the way the crunch of the green beans and the crunch of the water chestnuts complemented each other. My only changes were to add a grated garlic clove, to use about 6 leaves of fresh Basil, and to use only a sprinkling of parmesan. This recipe is definitely a keeper!

This is a tantalizing inexpensive sidedish that works well for potluck suppers and for company dinners. A little roasted garlic "kicked it up" for my family.
