Well worth trying everyone

I love green beans but have never tried it with the mushrooms. I might just have this tomorrow.

I do my green beans similar, use an olive spread instead of butter and add a good grinding of coarse black pepper and a couple of shakes of chilli flakes. Its medium hot and spicy and feels more like a meal than just a bowl of beans.

I do something really similar to this but just use regular sliced white mushrooms (not as tasty but cheaper!) and instead of garlic, use 1 sliced green onion. It's yummy! Oh, and I use smart balance instead of butter (husband has heart issues so no butter for us )
