Not every dish has to be complex. Sometimes you just want a hearty and delicious, well-cooked meal. The traditional green bean casserole has been a staple for years, but that’s because it’s just that good. This is our take on the classic.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups green beans, trimmed
- 1 cup button mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 50 grams flour
- 2 cups milk
- ½ cup crispy onions
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter and the oil in a large pan and fry the mushrooms for 10-15 minutes until golden. Stir in the green beans and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the beans turn bright green. Remove the vegetables from the pan.
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Melt the remaining butter in the pan until it starts to foam. Remove from the heat briefly and sprinkle in the flour, stirring to make a golden brown paste. Return the pan to the heat and add the milk, one splash at a time, stirring continuously until a thick white sauce has formed. Season well.
- Add the beans and mushrooms into the white sauce, and spoon into a medium ovenproof dish.
- Scatter over the crispy onions and bake for 20-30 minutes until bubbling and golden.
