In this video, Nicole takes a page out of Martha Stewart’s first cookbook with a simple recipe for green beans with gruyere cheese and sliced mushrooms! Blanched and tossed in a savory vinaigrette, these green beans are an easy side dish for a weeknight or for the holiday dinner table.

For Thanksgiving, I’m making green beans with griier and mushrooms from Martha Stewart’s first ever cookbook, Entertaining. It’s got some good stuff in here. Start by blanching your green beans. You just cook them in boiling water for a couple minutes, drain them, and shock them with ice water. Next, whisk up your vinegarette. It’s just a little bit of olive oil with cherry wine vinegar, dijon mustard, parsley, salt, and pepper. Give that a good whisk, and then toss your green beans in it until they’re thoroughly covered. Finally, just add in some griier cheese, and sliced mushrooms. This is the perfect easy side dish to add to your Thanksgiving table. Plus, I think it’s a great something different than the traditional green bean casserole. Martha always has and always will know what she’s talking about.

  1. As I understand it, mushrooms have no nutritional value in raw form.They should be cooked and they should sit in the sunshine for twenty minutes before you cook them

  2. No thank you. I prefer a pot of green beans cooked down with bacon and baby potatoes for my Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. I don't like raw green beans or mushrooms. But to each his own I suppose.

  3. Oh funny. This popped up just as I was contemplating getting the Green Beans from Sam's that you heat up and it comes with dried cranberries and almonds 🤔…decisions decisions

  4. I think I would saute those mushrooms with red onions & 5 cloves of Garlic (minced) before I mix them with the green beans. It taste a lot better.

  5. Swap that vinaigrette out for a balsamic vinaigrette and toss it into an oven until cheese is golden. Serve hot.
