Bacon-laced Green Beans with Wild Mushrooms


These smoky, earthy green beans are divine with a main dish or on their own. If you can find it, an organic wild mushroom blend will make this dish extra-special.

What you'll need:
  • 2 lbs. fresh green beans, washed and stemmed
  • 1/2 lb. or one package wild mushroom variety (if you can't find this, cremini mushrooms work best), chopped finely
  • 1/2 package your favorite vegan bacon, chopped finely
  • 1 large red onion, peeled and chopped finely
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat and add the onions. Cook about five minutes, or until gently done (not quite browned). Add bacon and mushrooms, and allow to cook another five minutes, stirring frequently. Lay the green beans on top of the bacon mixture and cover, allowing to steam for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir the mixture together and continue to cook, uncovered, for 10-15 more minutes, or until the onions are caramelized and the mushrooms and bacon well browned. Enjoy!
