Elegant Green Bean And Mushroom Casserole Food

GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Make the crispy onions: Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• In a large bowl, toss the onions with the oil, flour, panko, and salt. Spread evenly onto the baking sheets and bake for 25 to 35 minutes, tossing every 10 minutes (rotating the pans in the oven as necessary), until lightly browned and crispy. Remove from the oven and lower the oven temperature to 400°F.
• Prepare the filling: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and set a large bowl of ice water nearby. Drop the green beans into the boiling water and blanch for 4 minutes. Drain, and immediately immerse in the ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain, and transfer to a towel to dry.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet, add the mushrooms, and cook until soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the tamari, garlic, and thyme. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir again. Add the almond milk and mustard and stir to combine. Simmer until thickened, whisking often, for 20 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and pepper.
• Spread ⅓ of the sauce into the baking dish. Layer with green beans and top with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle the onions on top and bake, covered, for 10 minutes. Uncover and bake 10 more minutes. If the onions start to brown too much, cover the dish for the remainder of the baking time. Garnish with sprinkles of panko and Parmesan, if desired. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 ̊. Lay the bacon slices on a rack set on a rimmed baking sheet. Combine the brown sugar and maple syrup in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave just until melted, about 15 seconds, then stir. Brush on the top of each slice of bacon. Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until the bacon is crisp, about 15 minutes. Let sit on the rack for 5 minutes, then lift the bacon off the rack so that it doesn't stick. Return to the rack and let cool completely, about 20 minutes. Chop and set aside.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add half of the green beans and cook until bright green but still crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the beans and immediately plunge into a bowl of ice water. Repeat with the remaining beans. Drain the beans from the ice water once they are cool.
• Dump out the water from the pot. Add 4 tablespoons butter and melt over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, shallots, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Remove everything to a sheet pan.
• Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in the pot over medium-high heat. Add the flour and whisk to combine. Cook for a minute or two, then pour in the milk, half-and-half, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Continue cooking, whisking, until thickened, 6 to 7 minutes.

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until they just turn bright green, 2 to 3 minutes.

Season with the salt, pepper, cayenne and nutmeg. Cook 2 to 3 more minutes longer, dusting the mushrooms with some of the flour as they release moisture. Stir with a whisk to incorporate the flour (just like making a roux) and gradually add in the chicken stock. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat and add the sour cream and cream. Stir gently and cook over low heat until gravy thickens, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the blanched green beans to the pan and fold together so everything is mixed well. Spread out evenly in the pan.
