GREEN BEAN MUSHROOM CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Make the casserole: Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion; cook, stirring, until softened, 7 to 10 minutes. Add the mushrooms; sauté until softened and most of the liquid has evaporated, 10 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour; cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the broth and half-and-half. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until crisp-tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain; shake o any excess water and add to the mushroom sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are very tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Make the topping: Soak the sliced onion in the buttermilk, 5 minutes. Combine the flour and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Heat 2 to 3 inches vegetable oil in a large pot until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Working in batches, drain the onion, toss with the flour and shake o the excess, then fry until golden, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
• Transfer the green bean mixture to a 4-quart baking dish and top with the fried onion. (The casserole and topping can be made up to 2 hours ahead; refrigerate the casserole. Bring to room temperature; reheat at 350 degrees F, 30 minutes. Top with the fried onion; bake 5 more minutes.)

GREEN BEAN AND MUSHROOM CASSEROLE WITH CRISPY FRIED ONIONS

Steps:

• Make the casserole:
• Preheat oven to 425ºF. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Arrange mushrooms and 2 thyme sprigs in a single layer on prepared baking sheets. Drizzle with oil; season with 3/4 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Roast mushrooms, stirring once and rotating pan halfway through, until lightly golden, crisp-tender, and liquid is evaporated (watch carefully as cook time can vary between types of mushrooms), 25-35 minutes. Remove sheets from oven and reduce oven temperature to 375ºF.
• Meanwhile, cook green beans in a large pot of boiling generously salted water until crisp-tender, 3-5 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Drain well, then layer on a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels and pat dry. Wipe pot dry.
• Melt butter over medium-low heat in same pot. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5-8 minutes. Stir in flour and cook, stirring occasionally, until aroma is mildly nutty, 4-6 minutes. Add 3 Tbsp. cream and stir well to combine. Repeat twice, then stir in remaining cream, broth, bay leaves, and remaining 2 thyme sprigs. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally and scraping sides of pot, until sauce is the consistency of slightly thickened cream and coats the back of a wooden spoon, about 20 minutes (do not over-reduce). Discard thyme and bay leaves. Stir in zest, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper.
• Arrange beans and mushrooms in 3-qt. baking dish. Pour cream sauce over; stir to evenly coat. Bake casserole until sauce is thickened and bubbling around the edges, about 20 minutes.
• Make the fried onion topping:
• Pour oil into a large wide pot or high-sided skillet to a depth of 1/2". Heat over medium-high until hot but not smoking (about 350°F on a deep-fry thermometer). Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels.
• Whisk cornmeal, cornstarch, paprika, coriander, and cumin in a large shallow bowl. Toss onion rings in cornstarch mixture to coat.
• Working in batches, fry onion rings, stirring and turning occasionally, until golden and crisp, 2-3 minutes. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer to prepared sheet to drain. Season with salt and pepper while hot.
• Bake the casserole:
• Arrange beans and mushrooms in a 3-quart baking dish. Pour cream sauce over; stir to evenly coat. Bake at 375ºF until sauce is thickened and bubbling around edges, about 20 minutes.

CREAMY GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475°F (246°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
• (while the onions bake, you can blanch the green beans- step 4.) Thinly slice the onion. Pour flour in one small bowl, Panko + salt + pepper into a medium bowl, and whisk the egg and milk together in another small bowl. To bread the onion slices, you'll want to use one hand for dry and one hand for wet. It helps things move a little quicker and easier. First, dip a few slices into the flour. Then into the egg mixture. And finally, give them a nice dunk into the Panko and coat them well. Place onto baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the onions. Bake onions until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Flip them twice during this time. Set them aside.
• Reduce oven to 400°F (204°C).
• Bring a gallon of water and 1 Tablespoon of salt to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the beans and blanch for 5 minutes. Drain and immediately place into a large bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
• Over medium-high heat, melt the butter in a large 10 - 12 inch ovenproof skillet. Add the mushrooms, 1 teaspoon salt, and the pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms begin to give off some of their moisture- about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, stir, and cook for another 2 minutes. Sprinkle the flour on top and stir until combined. The flour will soak up all the moisture. Add the chicken broth and simmer for 3 minutes. Decrease the heat to medium-low and add the half-and-half. Stirring occasionally, cook until the mixture is thick- about 10 minutes or maybe more if you prefer a thicker sauce.
• Remove from the heat and add 1/4 of the onions and all of the green beans. Give it a nice stir, combining the sauce and beans. Top with remaining onions and bake until bubbly, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from the oven and enjoy! Leftovers keep well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat as desired.

CREAMY GREEN BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• For the salad: Melt the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms to the melted butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and have released their moisture, about 6 minutes. Stir in the thyme, Worcestershire, celery, garlic and salt to taste. Cook until the garlic and thyme are aromatic and the celery is starting to brown on the edges, about 2 minutes. The celery should still be lightly crisp. Add more salt if desired. Take off the heat and spread on a sheet tray to cool.
• Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Set up a large bowl of ice water and line a sheet tray with a paper towel or kitchen towel. Generously season the boiling water with salt. Add the green beans and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with a spider or drain in a colander and transfer to the ice bath. Once cooled, transfer the green beans to the lined sheet tray and thoroughly pat dry.
• For the creamy Parmesan dressing: Whisk together the yogurt, Parmesan, mayonnaise, sherry vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Refrigerate if not using immediately.

Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the shallots and toss well. Set aside to cool.

Add the beans and cook until bright green and crisp tender, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain well and run briefly under cold water. Drain again and set aside.
• Strain the milk into a large skillet, add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the mushrooms have softened, 10 to 15 minutes.
