I had originally planned to make this as a mushroom and green bean dish. I decided to make it as two dishes to please Eilene, who does not like mushrooms. In addition to the mushroom dish, this was to be may side to my ghost pepper chicken.

10. Pull the vegetables to the sides of the pan and sauté the garlic in the hole in the center of the pan, until fragrant, about one minute.
Tip: A little more oil may be a good idea.
