1-1/2 cups white mushrooms, sliced
3 Tbsp. fresh parsley, minced
1/3 cup pearl onions
1-2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 cup vegetable or faux chicken broth
2-1/2 cups fresh French-cut green beans
1/3 cup white wine
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

• In a skillet, sauté the garlic, mushrooms, parsley, and onions in the olive oil over medium-low heat for several minutes until the onions are translucent.
• Add the broth, green beans, and wine, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove cover, season with salt and pepper, and continue simmering until the beans are tender and the liquid is evaporated.
