A delightful twist on classic green beans, enhanced with a medley of flavors and textures.
Wash the green beans thoroughly and trim the ends.
Use a sharp knife or kitchen scissors for precise trimming.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the green beans for 3-4 minutes.
Blanching helps retain the vibrant green color of the beans.
Drain the beans and immediately plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking process.
This step ensures the beans remain crisp and tender.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the mushrooms and onions until softened.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Add the sliced water chestnuts, salt, pepper, and basil to the skillet and mix well.
Adjust the seasoning to taste at this stage.
Stir in the blanched green beans and cook until heated through.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the beans.
Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
