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.
• Top casserole with fried onions and serve warm.
• Do Ahead
• Onions can be fried 1 day ahead. Let cool. Arrange in a flat layer on a paper towel-lined rimmed baking sheet, cover loosely with foil, and store at room temperature.
• Green beans and mushrooms can be cooked 3 days ahead; keep chilled in separate airtight containers. Let come to room temperature before using.

HOMEMADE GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Make the onions: In a medium bowl, combine the onions with the flour, bread crumbs and salt, and toss to coat the onion pieces.
• In a heavy skillet with high sides, pour enough oil to reach 1/2-inch up the side. Heat over medium-high until the oil is hot - a drop of water should sizzle and sputter when flicked into the oil.
• Add the onions in batches, taking care not to overcrowd them. Fry until golden-brown (they don't have to be deep brown, as they'll continue cooking in the oven), about 5 to 6 minutes, then use a slotted spoon or a pair of tongs to transfer to paper towels. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Repeat until you've fried all of the onions.
• Butter a shallow 4-quart baking dish and heat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Blanch the green beans: Bring a large pot of water to a boil with an ice bath nearby. When boiling, salt the water generously, add the green beans, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until slightly tender and bright green. Immediately transfer beans to the ice bath. When beans are chilled, drain and set aside.
• Pour water out of the pot, wipe dry and return to the stovetop. Over medium-high heat, melt 3 tablespoons butter. When melted, add the red-pepper flakes and thyme, and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown significantly, 8 to 10 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon salt and sliced garlic and stir until fragrant, another 1 to 2 minutes.
• Sprinkle the flour all over and stir to coat the mushrooms. Gradually add the stock and milk, and bring to a simmer, stirring all the while. Turn the heat down to medium and continue to stir until the sauce is thick and creamy and coats the back of a spoon, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat. Add nutmeg, black pepper, vinegar and Worcestershire, if using. Taste for salt, pepper and acidity.
• Add the green beans and half of the onions, stir to combine, and transfer to prepared baking dish. Top with remaining onions and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until bubbling. Serve immediately.

CREAMY GREEN BEANS AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly mist a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray. Toss the shallots with the oil and salt and pepper on a baking sheet, spread in a single layer, and bake until golden and crispy, stirring 3 to 4 times, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the shallots and toss well. Set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, in a small pot combine the milk, thyme, bay leaves and peppercorns and bring to a simmer. Turn the heat off and let steep for 20 minutes. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. 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. Stir the broth and flour together and pour into the skillet; cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the beans and nutmeg. Toss until the beans are well coated in the sauce and transfer to the baking dish. Scatter with the shallots and bake until the sauce is bubbly and the shallots are crisp, about 20 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
