  • Total Time 20 minutes
  • Yield Serves 8

Ingredients

    • 1 3/4 pounds green beans, trimmed
    • 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
    • 2 large shallots, thinly sliced (1/2 cup)
    • 3/4 cup homemade or store-bought low-sodium chicken stock
    • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
    • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, trimmed and sliced 1/8 inch thick
    • 1/3 cup 2 percent Greek yogurt
    • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Blanch beans until tender, about 6 minutes. Drain.
