    I like the idea of creating a group based on this. It would be pretty cool. I would join it, that's for sure!

    I love all the above recipe they show imagination. Of course, mine will not be that wonderful. I would take some turkey sausage cut into small pieces, in an iron skillet, cook it for a few minute along with a bit of onion, garlic and a dash of creole seasoning. Then add in my green beans that have been sliced and sliced mushrooms with a little stock and let them cook down.

    Lana...nothing wrong with your recipe, sometimes you need a recipe exactly like that if you're serving a meal with other stronger flavors.

    I think I would steam the beans to crisp tender.

    Saute the garlic and mushroom and then add crushed tomatoes, fresh sliced basil, some kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.

    1. I would blanch the green beans in salt water and shock in icewater.
    2. I would dry toast some pine nuts until golden.

    3. I would sauté a couple of anchovies together with some whole garlic cloves in some good olive oil. Throw in the mushrooms until their water has evaporated.

    4. Add the green beans, some sliced green olives and some chopped up roasted red pepper, a pinch of oregano and crushed pepper flakes. Sauté a few minutes more then toss some pine nuts on the top…;-)~

    I would saute a little EVOO and some strips of chicken or turkey. Then add the garlic, mushrooms and stir fry a little bit more. Then add some red pepper flakes and a splash of sherry then add the green beans and cook til tender....serve over rice.
    How did I do?

    Here's what I would do with those 3 ingredients:
    1. saute the mushrooms, garlic and green beans with a speck of unsalted butter and a small amount of vegetable broth (bouillion).
    2. add a little more vegetable broth to the veggies then add a few spoonsfuls of instant mashed potato flakes to make a thicker "sauce" and serve.
    3. For added interest-slice a little onion and brown it over high flame (with a spot of butter) so that it's almost crispy and sprinkle on top of veggies.
    (4. depending on the amount of "sauce" the veggies are in, I might just pour some over my mashed potatoes).
