This is for the folks who would prefer to make the casserole without
canned beans and canned soup.

Green Bean Casserole with Homemade Mushroom Gravy

Prep Time:10 minInactive Prep Time: -- Cook Time:35
minLevel:EasyServes:6 to 8 servings.


Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound mixed gourmet mushrooms, such as shiitakes, creminis and
oyster, cleaned and quartered
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
4 medium shallots, sliced and separated into thin rounds
1 cup all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil, for shallow frying

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and
cook until they just turn bright green, 2 to 3 minutes. (You don't
want to cook the green beans through as they will cook in the oven
also.) Strain and plunge the green beans immediately in a large bowl
of ice water to stop the cooking process. When cool, drain and set out
to dry on paper towels.

Set a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter
and vegetable oil. Once the butter is melted and the pan is hot, add
the mushrooms. Cook undisturbed so the mushrooms sear nicely, about 1
minute. Add the thyme and garlic and continue cooking the mushrooms to
achieve some nice color. Season with the salt, pepper, cayenne and
nutmeg. Cook 2 to 3 more minutes longer, dusting the mushrooms with
some of the flour as they release moisture. Stir with a whisk to
incorporate the flour (just like making a roux) and gradually add in
the chicken stock. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat and add the
sour cream and cream. Stir gently and cook over low heat until gravy
thickens, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the blanched green beans to the pan and
fold together so everything is mixed well. Spread out evenly in the
pan. Sprinkle the green beans with the grated Parmesan and transfer to
a roasting tray (to catch any spill-over). Bake until the casserole is
bubbly and the top is melted and golden, 15 minutes.

Pour the vegetable oil into a deep skillet and heat to 350 degrees F.
Pour the flour into a large mixing bowl and sprinkle generously with
salt and pepper. Toss the shallot rounds in the seasoned flour, then
place in a strainer and shake off any excess flour. Fry the shallots
in the hot oil in small batches until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
Drain on paper towels and season with salt while still hot.

Top the green bean casserole with the fried shallots and serve.

Thanks, Janet! This is the first green bean casserole I have been tempted to

why are "shiitakes, creminis and
oyster" mushrooms "gourmet mushrooms"?

Why does the recipe not call for gourmet herbs, such as thyme, and gourmet
cheese, such as Parmesan

LMAO

Meaning use of other than standard buttom mushrooms. They do in fact
have a variation of flavor.

I agree that will provide a different flavor profile, but adding the word
"gourmet" when listing specific, pretty standard mushrooms is just a waste
of a word or a dubious attempt to make the recipe sound like more than it
is.

When I think of green bean casserole, "gourmet" always comes to mind.
My one year anniversary of my first taste of this sublime dish is
coming up. You just know that it's going to be a hell of a
thanksgiving. (-:

[cshenk]

In some parts of the country, any mushroom other than button type are
'exotic'. You can't even get them fresh in a large portion of it.

I was wondering. . .do you have to wear gloves to pick nits?
Janet US ;o)

That's pretty much what I do to make the casserole, thanks.

All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt.

Good question! But, at my level of experience in these matters, gloves are
no longer necessary.

[Storrmmee]

i think the real issue is that some people can't just read a recipe they
must find something negative to say, Lee

Are you saying there *couldn't* be a gourmet version of creamed tuna on
toast?

Bob, loves a challenge

Vitello Tonnato, or slight variations on the theme, just served on
toast. Maybe not a side dish, though.
