How to make French beans with mushroom and shallots

1) Put French beans in a microwave-safe bowl with the water. Cover tightly and microwave on high for 4 minutes. Carefully remove the cover, drain in a colander, shaking off any excess water, and set aside.

2) While the beans are cooking, heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick pan.

3) Add the shallots and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring, until softened slightly.

4) Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until the water they release has evaporated and they begin to brown, about 10 minutes.

5) Add the French beans and stir to combine and rewarm.

6) Season with salt and pepper and serve.
