1 TBSP fresh thyme or 1 tsp dried
1 bunch Swiss chard or Tuscan kale, stems removed and leaves coarsely chopped (about 4 cups)

4. Add green beans and ¼ cup water to the pan, cover, and cook over medium heat until tender, 5–6 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, whisk Dijon, vinegar, garlic, thyme, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Add vinaigrette to beans and cook until fragrant, 30–60 seconds.
6. Remove from heat and stir in chard, mushrooms, and croutons. Transfer bean and green mixture to a large platter and top with crispy shallots.
