#559: Herbed Veggie Mix-Up

I absolutely love fresh green beans (most of the time that is).  This recipe is a great way to use up those fresh green beans you can get in the stores this time of year for a great price.  This was very easy to make, especially since I bought the pre-julienned sliced carrots.  It was a huge hit with my extended family and I will definitely make this again. 

1/2 pound fresh green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 medium carrots, julienned
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
1 medium onion, sliced
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/8 teaspoon white pepper

Place beans and carrots in a steamer basket; place in a large saucepan over 1 in. of water. Bring to a boil; cover and steam for 7-10 minutes or until crisp-tender.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt butter. Add mushrooms and onion; saute until tender. Stir in the parsley, salt, oregano, basil, pepper, green beans and carrots; heat through. Yield: 5 servings.
