Total Time:

Ingredients:

1 tbsp. olive oil
2 to 3 cloves garlic
6 lg. button mushrooms, sliced
1/2 to 3/4 cup whole almonds (more or less to taste and to fit your dieting goals)
1/2 lb. frozen French style green beans (like those found at Trader Joe\'s but any would work, including fresh, also, you may want to add more)
Soy sauce, to taste

Directions:

Heat oil over medium heat. Saute garlic until soft, being careful not to let it burn. Add sliced mushrooms and saute until they look fairly cooked and shiny (about 5 minutes). Add almonds and saute for a couple more minutes. Finally, add frozen green beans and splash of soy sauce. Stir frequently until beans are just cooked and, of course, no longer frozen. If not on the south beach diet or watching sugar intake, you could add oyster sauce or other Asian condiment to the mixture.

Comments from meow :

This Asian-inspired dish is permissible for phase one of the South Beach Diet and we LOVED it. I used frozen french beans from Trader Joe\'s, but fresh beans would be wonderful! Amounts are highly approximated; I didn\'t measure when making this, but this is pretty similar to what I did. (If using fresh beans, you\'d probably want to blanch them in boiling water and then plunge in ice water, and *then* add to the pan.)
