Mushrooms and green beans sauteed in butter. The sauce is a mixture of yogurt and Japanese mayo. Dill is added for a delightful citrusy flavor. Cayenne powder is sprinkled just before serving to add a spicy contrast.
You may use any mushroom variety that you prefer; just don’t use canned because you won’t get much flavor from canned mushrooms.
