Ingredients
2 lbs. green beans, trimmed
12 medium shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, cut into 1/4-inch slices
4 Tbs. good olive oil, divided
2 Tbs. thinly sliced shallot
1 Tbs. microplaned lemon zest
1 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup coarsely chopped Barukas nuts
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
Preparation
In a large pot of boiling water, blanch green beans until still slightly crisp, about 2 minutes; immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Drain and pat dry.
In a wok or large skillet, heat 3 Tbs. olive oil over medium-high heat. Toss in shallots, stir and sauté briefly, about 1 minute. Add shiitakes, stir and sauté for another minute. Add remaining Tbs. of olive oil & green beans, stir and sauté until heated through, about 2 to 3 minutes more.
Remove from heat, stir in lemon zest and lemon juice. Transfer to large bowl or platter, sprinkle with Barukas nuts and chopped parsley.
