Ingredients
- Fresh green beans (trimmed)

Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Trim the ends of the green beans, slice shallots thinly, and clean the wild mushrooms.
- Sauté the Shallots: Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet, add shallots, and cook until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Cook the Green Beans: In the same skillet, add green beans and sauté for about 5 minutes until vibrant and tender-crisp.
- Add the Mushrooms and Garlic: Introduce mushrooms and minced garlic to the pan and sauté for another 5-7 minutes until mushrooms are tender.
- Season and Garnish: Add fresh herbs, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle crispy shallots over the top just before serving.

Notes
Blanching green beans before sautéing enhances color and texture. Avoid overcooking to maintain crunchiness.
