Green Bean Casserole Arancini Food

GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp of the butter and the oil in a large pan and fry the mushrooms for 10-15 mins until golden. Stir in the green beans and cook for another 3-4 mins until the beans turn bright green. Scoop out the veg onto a plate.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Melt the remaining butter in the pan until foaming. Remove from the heat briefly and sprinkle over the flour, stirring into the butter to make a golden brown paste. Return to the heat and add the milk, a splash at a time, continually stirring until all the milk has been added and you get a smooth, thick white sauce. Season well. Stir the beans and mushrooms into the white sauce, and spoon into a medium ovenproof dish.
• Scatter over the crispy onions, then bake for 20-30 mins until bubbling and golden, covering if the onions brown too quickly.

THE BEST GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Make the casserole: Place the dried shiitake mushrooms in a small bowl and cover with boiling water, about 2 cups, and cover with plastic wrap. Let steep for 20 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh strainer, reserve 1/2 cup of the liquid and slice the steeped mushrooms.
• 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 cremini and shiitake mushrooms; saute until softened and most of the liquid has evaporated, 10 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour; cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the broth and mushroom liquid. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until thickened, 5 to 10 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 off any excess water and add to the mushroom sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are very tender and the sauce is thick, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and season with 2 teaspoons of salt and pepper.
• For the topping: Soak the sliced onions 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 off 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 onions. (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.)

BEST EVER GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
• Combine the onions, flour, panko and salt in a large mixing bowl and toss to combine. Coat a sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray and evenly spread the onions on the pan. Place the pan on the middle rack of the oven and bake until golden brown, approximately 30 minutes. Toss the onions 2 to 3 times during cooking. Once done, remove from the oven and set aside until ready to use. Turn the oven down to 400 degrees F.
• While the onions are cooking, prepare the beans. Bring a gallon of water and 2 tablespoons of salt to a boil in an 8-quart saucepan. Add the beans and blanch for 5 minutes. Drain in a colander and immediately plunge the beans into a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a 12-inch cast iron skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, 1 teaspoon salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms begin to give up some of their liquid, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and nutmeg and continue to cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute. Add the broth and simmer for 1 minute. Decrease the heat to medium-low and add the half-and-half. Cook until the mixture thickens, stirring occasionally, approximately 6 to 8 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and stir in 1/4 of the onions and all of the green beans. Top with the remaining onions. Place into the oven and bake until bubbly, approximately 15 minutes. Remove and serve immediately.

MRS. G'S GREEN BEAN AND PORCINI MUSHROOM CASSEROLE

Steps:

• For the topping: Pulse bread, butter, salt, and pepper in workbowl of food processor fitted with metal blade until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about ten 1-second pulses.
• Transfer to large bowl and toss with onions; set aside.
• For the beans: Heat oven to 375 degrees. Bring 4 quarts water to boil in large pot. Add 2 tablespoons salt and beans. Cook until bright green and slightly crunchy, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Drain beans and plunge immediately into large bowl filled with ice water to stop cooking. Spread beans out onto paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
• Meanwhile, cover dried porcini with 1/2 cup hot tap water in small microwave-safe bowl; cover with plastic wrap, cut several steam vents with paring knife, and microwave on high power for 30 seconds. Let stand until mushrooms soften, about 5 minutes.
• Lift mushrooms from the liquid with fork and mince using chef's knife (you should have about 2 tablespoons).
• Pour liquid through paper towel-lined sieve and reserve.
• Melt butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until foaming subsides, about 1 minute. Add onion, garlic, button mushrooms, and cremini mushrooms and cook until mushrooms release their moisture, about 2 minutes.
• Add porcini mushrooms along with their strained soaking liquid, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper and cook until all mushrooms are tender and liquid has reduced to 2 tablespoons, about 5 minutes.
• Add flour and cook for about 1 minute. Stir in chicken broth and reduce heat to medium.
• Stir in cream and simmer gently until sauce has consistency of dense soup, about 15 minutes.
• Arrange beans in 3-quart gratin dish. Pour mushroom mixture over beans and mix to coat beans evenly.
• Sprinkle with bread crumb mixture and bake until top is golden brown and sauce is bubbling around edges, about 15 minutes.
• Serve immediately.

GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE ARANCINI

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken stock and salt up to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add the rice and cook over moderate heat until the rice has softened and absorbed all the liquid, about 20 minutes. Transfer the rice to a baking sheet and spread it out evenly to allow it to cool completely.
• Place a skillet over medium heat with the olive oil. Once hot, add the mushrooms and cook until they've just begun to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chopped green beans and cook until warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat and let cool.
• Add the cooled rice to a large mixing bowl, along with the cooled mushroom and green bean mixture. Add the cheese, egg, and 3/4 cup of the crushed fried onions. Mix it all together until well combined. Form the mixture into balls, roughly the size of a golf ball, and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• In a shallow dish, combine the remaining crushed fried onions along with the breadcrumbs. Roll each rice ball in the breadcrumb mixture, coating them as evenly as possible. Return to the baking sheet and continue coating each. Then chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour. This will help them stay together when you fry them.
• Fill a heavy-duty Dutch oven about halfway up with vegetable oil and heat to 350 degrees F. Fry the arancini in batches, until golden brown and crispy all around, about 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with gravy or marinara for dipping!

GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Cook the green beans: In a large pot, bring 6 quarts of water to a boil. Salt the water generously; it should taste like sea water.
• Prepare an ice bath: Fill a large bowl halfway with ice and add some cold water. Place a colander squarely inside the ice bath; the colander will keep you from having to pick the beans out from amongst the ice cubes. Plunge the green beans into the water and cook 2 to 3 minutes. When the beans are cooked, remove them from the hot water with a strainer and transfer them to the colander inside the ice bath. Use a spoon to "swirl" the beans around in the ice bath so they cool quickly. Drain.
• Make the mushroom base: In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, melt the butter and add the mushrooms. Season with salt and add the mustard and cayenne. Cook until the mushrooms give off most of their liquid, 5 to 8 minutes. Whisk the garlic and flour into the mushrooms. Cook the flour 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly so it doesn't stick or burn, and then add the chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and reduce 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the cream and sour cream and simmer gently. Continue cooking over low heat until the mixture thickens, 5 to 8 minutes. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Fry the onions: Pour the oil into a medium frying pan. Heat to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, combine the flour and cayenne. Toss the onion rounds in the flour and "shake" off excess by shaking the rounds in a strainer once they have been breaded. Test the oil by dropping in a few slices; they should rise to the surface and fry gradually.
• Prepare a baking sheet fitted with a kitchen towel. Drop a small batch of the onions into the oil and gently "swirl" with a slotted spoon in the oil as they fry; this will help them fry more evenly on all sides. Fry until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the oil and spread on the baking sheet. Season immediately with salt.
• Bake and serve: When ready to serve, stir the green beans into the mushrooms. Simmer on the stove over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes so the beans and sauce meld together. Add more cream and a splash water if the sauce is too thick. Transfer the skillet to the oven for 8 to 10 minutes to finish heating it and to give the casserole that "baked" effect. Remove from the oven and top with the fried onions. Serve immediately.
