Lemon & Thyme Mushrooms with Runner Beans
This simple and delicious side dish is a great little number; you can serve it as a traditional vegetable side with meat and potatoes, or use as a light pasta sauce. You can even eat it by itself on top of toast for a comforting lunch. The flavours are simple yet effective and instantly upgrade humble mushrooms into dinner party fodder! The great thing about this recipe is that you can substitute any other vegetables if you don’t have runner beans - exchange for peas, asparagus or broccoli, really any other green vegetable with a bit of bite will do. Enjoy!
