Ragout of Green Beans, Shiitake Mushrooms, and Vine-
Ripened Tomatoes
Scrumptious!
Heat oil in deep skillet with lid or medium stockpot. Cook shallots (onions) and garlic until
soft, about 15 minutes, adding mushrooms after 1-2 minutes. Add tomatoes, green beans,
broth, seasonings. Bring to brisk simmer over medium-high heat. Cover, reduce to simmer
and cook until vegetables are tender, but not mushy. Remove cover, add lemon, correct
seasonings, and serve warm.
I cooked the beans separately, but only until just the other side of crisp, then stopped the
cooking by plunging them into an ice bath. Bagged the beans and the ragout mixture
separately, including the pan liquids with the ragout. When ready to use, I spread the beans
in a shallow microwaveable dish, spooned the rest of the dish down the middle of the beans
and reheated.
Bon appetit!
