FARMHOUSE’S FAVORITE
GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE
Serves 8 to 10
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 ounces mushrooms, (I use a combination of crimini, shitake and
oysters) stems removed and chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups half and half
1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1 teaspoon tamari or soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
12 ounces of seasoned fried shallots
1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans, blanched and cooled
½ cup of freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 Tsp of smoked paprika
Salt and pepper
1.
Cook the mushrooms. Melt the butter in a large,
straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until
reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about
1 minute.
2.
Sprinkle the flour evenly over the mushroom mixture
and stir to combine. Cook until the flour is no longer dry, 1 to 2 minutes. Add
the half and half, chicken broth, tamari or soy sauce, nutmeg, salt and pepper,
and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the sauce is thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.
3.
Remove the sauce from the heat, add the green beans
and 1/2 of the fried shallots, and stir to combine. Transfer the green bean
mixture to a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread into an even layer.
4.
Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese, smoked paprika
and remaining shallots. Bake until golden and bubbling, 12 to 15 minutes.
5.
Let cool 5 minutes before serving. The sauce will
thicken as it cools.
Easy
to make
ahead: Assemble the casserole without the crispy
shallots and store tightly wrapped in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Remove
from the refrigerator while the oven preheats. Top with the fried shallots and
bake.
