A quick-to-fix green bean side dish or vegetarian main dish. I like to use my steamer for the beans and carrots, but they could also be boiled briefly and drained. This makes a beautiful presentation with interesting flavor combinations. The real trick is getting the seasoning right. Experiment with your favorite herb combinations, fresh or dried. This recipe serves six as a side dish or 2-3 as a main dish. Add some cooked brown rice or other whole grain or pasta choice to accompany.

    VARIATIONS: For Christmas use red bell pepper strips in place of carrots, and for other seasons, try yellow or orange bell peppers. But using bell peppers requires a cooking adjustment: instead of steaming them as with the carrots in Step 1, saute them with onions & mushrooms in Step 2.
