Green Bean Casserole With Shallots Recipes

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add onion, and saute until it begins to soften, about 4 minutes. Add bell pepper and mushrooms, and cook until softened and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 8 minutes. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Set aside to cool.
• Prepare an ice bath: Fill a large bowl with ice and water; set aside. Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Add beans, and cook until bright green and just tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain, and plunge into ice bath to stop cooking. When cooled, toss drained beans with mushroom mixture; set aside.
• Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add 1/4 cup flour, whisk constantly until mixture begins to turn golden, about 2 minutes. Pour in milk, and continue whisking until mixture has thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in cayenne, nutmeg, and the remaining teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Remove from heat, and let cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. Pour over beans, and toss to combine.
• Butter a 9-by-13-inch glass or ceramic baking pan. Spread half the green-bean mixture over the bottom. Sprinkle on half the grated Parmesan, and spread with the remaining green beans. Combine the remaining Parmesan and the breadcrumbs, and sprinkle over casserole. Cover with foil, and refrigerate until just before serving.
• Heat canola oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Toss shallot rings with the remaining 2 tablespoons flour. Fry the shallots in batches, turning frequently, until golden brown. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Place in an airtight container, and set aside until ready to serve.
• Heat broiler, positioning rack about 8 inches from heat. Cook casserole, covered, until mixture is bubbly and heated through, about 10 minutes. Uncover, and cook until top is golden brown, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle fried shallots over top, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place green beans in a large bowl. Mix in shallots, garlic, and almonds. Drizzle olive oil over the top; sprinkle salt and pepper evenly on top. Toss until everything is evenly coated with oil. Spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven until beans are slightly shriveled and shallots are lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss together shallots and 1 1/4 cups flour until shallots are evenly coated. In batches, shake off excess flour from shallots and fry until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes, adjusting heat if shallots are browning too quickly. With a slotted spoon, transfer to sheet and season with salt. Set aside. (Store in an airtight container at room temperature with a layer of paper towels underneath, up to 2 days.)
• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook green beans until crisp-tender, 6 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. Pat dry. (To store, refrigerate in a resealable plastic bag, up to 1 day.)
• In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium-high. Add mushrooms and cook until liquid has evaporated, about 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add 1/4 cup flour and cook, stirring, until incorporated, about 1 minute. Whisking constantly, gradually add broth, then milk. Bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (To store, refrigerate with plastic wrap on surface, up to 2 days. Reheat before using.)
• Add green beans to mushroom sauce and toss to coat. Transfer mixture to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Bake until bubbling around edges, about 15 minutes. Serve topped with fried shallots.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water and set aside.
• Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook until bright green and tender-crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer the green beans to the ice bath to stop the cooking. Drain the beans and add them to a mixing bowl.
• Add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the mushrooms, shallot, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the cheese and stir to melt. Turn the heat off and add the mixture to the bowl with the green beans. Toss until everything is creamy and thoroughly combined. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Toss to combine. Top with the fried onions. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• To parboil the green beans, bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add green beans and cook for 2 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon and place into a big bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
• Heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the onions and mushrooms and sauté for a few minutes, until softened and fragrant. Add the flour and stir until no lumps remain. Add the chicken stock and milk (or cream) and continue to stir. Let the sauce come to a boil, then lower heat and let simmer for 10 minutes or until sauce begins to thicken, stirring frequently. At this point, I like to taste it and then season it with appropriate amounts of salt, pepper and a pinch of nutmeg.
• Drain the water out of the bowl of green beans. Once the sauce is ready, add to the bowl and toss to combine. Pour green bean mixture into a casserole dish, and bake for 30 minutes.
• While it's baking, heat vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, enough to cover about an inch of pan. Add the shallots and let fry until they turn golden, roughly 7 to 8 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon and let cool on a paper towel-lined plate. When green bean casserole is done baking, top with crispy shallots.

Steps:

• Peel and slice the shallots thinly.
• Heat a sauce pan over medium heat and put the olive oil and shallots in the pan.
• Saute the shallots until caramelized, maybe 20 minutes.

• Take the stems off the beans but otherwise leave whole.
• Steam them briefly until just tender but still crisp.
• Toss the beans with the shallots and oil and season with salt and serve.

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes.

Remove from heat; let cool completely, stirring occasionally. Pour over bean mixture, and toss.
• Butter a 13 × 9-inch baking dish. Spread half of the bean mixture into dish. Sprinkle with half of the Parmesan, and then top with remaining bean mixture. Combine remaining Parmesan and bread crumbs; sprinkle over top. Cover with foil, and refrigerate until ready to serve (up to 1 day); bring to room temperature before heating.
• Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Toss shallots with remaining 2 tablespoons flour. Fry shallots in 2 batches, turning frequently, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer shallots to paper towels to drain; let cool completely. The shallots can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 day.
• Preheat the broiler, with rack about 8 inches from heat. Cook casserole, covered, until mixture is bubbling and heated through, about 10 minutes. Uncover, and cook until top is golden brown, about 30 seconds. Remove from oven. Sprinkle with fried shallots. Serve immediately.
