  6. For the mushrooms, heat the butter and oil in a large frying pan until foaming, then add the mushrooms, frying until lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper and stir through the parsley.
  7. For the potatoes, add the potatoes to a pan of boiling water and simmer for five minutes until par-boiled. Drain.
  8. Place the drained potatoes into a large pan with the cream and garlic. Simmer gently until the potatoes are tender, then season with salt and white pepper.
  9. For the beans, heat a little butter in a frying pan. Add the shallot and cook for a minute then add the beans. Fry for 1-2 minutes until warmed through, then season with salt and pepper.
