  • Start by preheating the oven to 350°F (180°C). While it heats, rinse the walnuts and pat them dry with paper towels. Chop them into large pieces, spread them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and toast in the oven for 10 minutes, stirring now and then so they brown evenly. Keep a close eye on them so they don't burn. While the walnuts toast, rinse the mushrooms and lay them on paper towels to blot off excess moisture, then slice them thin. Set a large skillet over high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is good and hot, add the mushrooms and sauté, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the green beans straight from the freezer, no need to thaw. Pour in the water and stir well. Lower the heat to medium, cover, and simmer everything together for 5 minutes. The beans should turn tender; if they're still firm, give them another 5 minutes. Uncover, raise the heat slightly, and cook until nearly all the liquid has evaporated. Season the beans and mushrooms with salt and ground black pepper and stir once more. Transfer to a large bowl, add the crumbled (or coarsely grated) blue cheese, and toss well. Divide among serving plates and top with the toasted walnuts. Serve warm. Enjoy!
