Portobello & Green Bean Saute

Name: Portobello & Green Bean Saute
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 20 min
Yield: 10 servings.
Ingredients: 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and halved; 1 pound baby portobello mushrooms, quartered; 1 medium onion, finely chopped; 1/4 cup butter, cubed; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules; 4 plum tomatoes, peeled and chopped; 1 teaspoon dried marjoram; 1/4 teaspoon pepper; 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley

I think the key to tasty veggies is simplicity: everyday ingredients combined to be fantastic. The bouillon has enough salt for most people, so taste before adding more. If portobello mushrooms are not available, white button mushrooms work well.—Elaine Shoemaker, Sedgewickville, Missouri

I made this as a side dish for Christmas dinner. Everyone loved it and asked for the recipe. The flavors of all the ingredients go so well together, but are still distinct enough to savor individually. The ratio of the other vegetables to the green beans was a bit overwhelming, though, so I will cut the quantity of the onions, mushrooms and tomatoes by half the next time I make it. And there will be a next time!
