Yield Serves 6 as a side

Number Of Ingredients 15

For the topping:
4 slices thick-cut bacon, finely chopped
1 medium onion, diced
½ cup walnuts
½ cup finely chopped parsley
For the beans and sauce:
1 pound fresh green beans, rinsed and trimmed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 ounces chanterelle mushrooms, roughly chopped
Hefty pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves of garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 475°F.
  • Make the topping:
  • In a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until it is lightly crisp (it will cook a little more in the oven, so no need to get it extra crispy). With a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Add the onion to the bacon drippings (there should be about 1 tablespoon in the skillet; if there's way more than that, pour out some and save it for future use). Cook the onion until it is soft and tender, about 8 minutes. Transfer it to a bowl.
  • Add the walnuts to the same pan and cook, shaking the pan often, until they are lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Add the walnuts to the bowl with the onion and crumble in the bacon. Add the parsley and toss the whole mixture well. Set aside.
  • Wipe out the skillet (you'll be using it again).
  • Make the beans:
  • Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add the beans and blanch them for 5 minutes. While they cook, prepare a large bowl of ice water. Drain the beans in a colander and immediately plunge them into the ice water to stop the cooking. Drain them again and set them aside.
  • Make the sauce:
  • Melt the butter in the cast-iron skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and a hefty pinch of salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms begin to give up some of their liquid, 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 cream. Cook until the mixture thickens, stirring occasionally, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and add the green beans. Sprinkle them evenly with the bacon and onion mixture and bake until bubbly, approximately 15 minutes.
  • Serve immediately.

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

Safflower oil, for frying
1 shallot, peeled and thinly sliced in rings
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds green beans
12 slices bacon (3/4 pound), cut crosswise in 1/4-inch pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice (1 1/3 cups)
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
3 cups milk, room temperature
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Heat 1/2 inch of safflower oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Toss shallot rings with 1 tablespoon flour. Fry the shallots in batches, turning frequently, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Season with salt.
  • Cook green beans in a large pot of salted boiling water until bright green and just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to cool. Drain well and pat dry with paper towels. Trim beans, slice in half lengthwise, and cut into 2- to 3-inch pieces.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high. Add bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Drain and discard fat.
  • Return skillet to medium-high. Add butter, onion, and mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally and scraping up brown bits on the bottom of skillet as the vegetables release their juices, until tender and just beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 3 tablespoons flour and cook, stirring, until mixture begins to turn golden, 1 minute. Slowly stir in milk and continue stirring until mixture coats the back of a spoon, about 13 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in mustard, cayenne, and Worcestershire. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in cooled green beans and 1/2 cup reserved cooked bacon.
  • Transfer mixture to a 2 1/2-quart shallow baking dish; cover. Bake until mixture is bubbly and heated through, 15 minutes. Uncover, top with remaining bacon and fried shallots, and serve immediately.

GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE WITH BACON AND WINE



Green Bean Casserole With Bacon and Wine image

I tried this green bean casserole variation for Easter one year and loved the kicked up flavor from the bacon, wine and soy sauce. I hadn't cooked this casserole in years, but scoured the web, found this recipe and we devoured it! UPDATE: I corrected this recipe to adjust the cooking time and temperature so the recipe could be doubled easily.

Green Bean Casserole (Mushroom, Garlic and Bacon, Oh My!) image

Every year it is my BF's and my job to bring the green bean casserole to the Thanksgiving dinner. The recipe started with us just adding bacon (because EVERYTHING is better with bacon) and then we added more "stuff" till we came up with this super fattening, garlic laden delight. Maybe next time we might have to add shredded cheese and some sauteed onions. . . food for thought :)
