- Warm the olive oil in a large, heavy saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms, green beans, salt, and pepper and cook for 2 minutes. Add the wine and continue cooking until the green beans are almost tender, about 5 minutes.

So delicious and full of flavor! I used a very nice chardonnay in this dish, and I could really taste it. I am always looking for a great vegetable side that’s light and fresh, without the pasta. Definitely give this one a try…it’s fantastic!!
