Green Bean, Red Pepper, and Shallot Sauté
I made this green bean, red pepper, and shallot sautés to go with the Long Grain and Wild Rice with Mushrooms and Shallots and the Mustard-Maple Chicken Thighs and they all paired nicely together. This side dish took me less than 10 minutes to make and tasted healthy, flavorful, and delicious.
