Ultimate Green Bean Casserole With Crispy Fried Shallots Recipes

GREEN-BEAN CASSEROLE WITH FRIED SHALLOTS

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.

Transfer the mushroom mixture to a bowl. Whisk together the milk and flour until the flour is dissolved. Add the mixture to the skillet and, whisking constantly, bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium low, whisking occasionally, until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.

CRISPY SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Slice the shallots. Using a sharp knife, peel then thinly slice all shallots into half moons about ⅛" thick.
• Heat the oil. Add enough light, neutral oil (grapeseed, avocado, canola, or vegetable oil) to coat the bottom of a medium saucepan by about ½ - ¾". This will vary depending on the size of your pan. This is a shallow fry versus a deep fry. Heat the oil over medium-high heat, until a temperature of about 350-375F is reached.
• Fry the shallots. When the oil is hot, carefully add the shallots to the pan, being careful as oil may splatter. Cook, stirring every few minutes, until the shallots are golden brown.
• Drain the shallots. Remove shallots immediately with a spider, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off excess oil. Sprinkle with a few pinches of Kosher salt while still hot. Serve immediately or store at room temperature in a tupperware lined with a paper towel until needed.
