Sauteed Mushrooms & Green Beans Recipe

In a pot: Par-boil the green beans. Take a pot with water & salt, bring to a boil, add green beans. Reduce to low & simmer, uncovered for about 5 minutes, until they are tender crisp. Drain & rinse beans in ice water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

In a skillet, melt butter and add mushrooms & shallots. Cook until browned, about 15 minutes, stir a little bit. Add flour, pepper and salt (to taste) and cook 2 minutes longer. Put in the green beans and half & half and cook thoroughly.
