Boil a pot of water with 4 cups of water for the green beans.

Add sea salt to the water and bring it to a boil.

Drop the rinsed and trimmed green beans into the boiling water.

Cover the pot and boil the green beans for 10 minutes.

Strain the green beans and shock them in an ice bath to stop the cooking.

Wipe the shitake mushrooms with a wet napkin and chop them into long pieces.

Smash the clove of garlic with the back of a knife, peel it, and chop it finely.

Chop the half medium onion by scoring it and slicing it down the sides.

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet and add the chopped onions first to avoid burning the garlic.

After the onions are cooked, add the chopped shitake mushrooms and sauté until tender.

Mix the sautéed vegetables with the green beans in the skillet.

Add 2 sliced roma tomatoes and Italian seasoning to the mixture and combine everything together.

Turn off the stove and plate the sautéed green beans with mushrooms and tomatoes.
