    I used this recipe and replaced the green beans( which I don't care for) with baby limas! Needless to say there weren't any left. Delicious!!!!

    I prepared this recipe using the french string beans (no string removal), the regular white mushroom, sweet onions and only 1 table spoon of lemon juice. Everybody liked and fast to prepare too.
