  • 2 lb. fresh green beans, cut into 1 ½-inch pieces

Instructions
 

Fried Shallots

  • Separate sliced shallots into rings. Toss in all-purpose flour. Pour vegetable oil to depth of 1 inch in a medium saucepan; heat to 350°F. Fry shallots, in batches, 3 to 4 minutes or until crispy and just golden. Drain on paper towels; season with salt and pepper to taste.

Casserole

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Cook green beans in boiling salted water to cover in a Dutch oven 4 to 5 minutes or to desired degree of doneness; drain. Plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process; drain and pat dry.
  • Sauté mushrooms and onion in melted butter in Dutch oven over medium heat 10 minutes or until golden; whisk in flour and garlic and cook, whisking constantly, 1 minute. Gradually whisk in wine and cook, whisking constantly, 1 minute. Whisk in half-and-half and cook, whisking constantly, 3 to 4 minutes or until sauce is thickened and bubbly. Remove from heat, and whisk in ⅓ cup Parmesan, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, and freshly ground pepper.
  • Fold green beans into sauce. Place in a lightly greased 2 ½-quart baking dish. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan and panko over green bean mixture. Top with Fried Shallots.
  • Bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden and bubbly. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a twist, add chopped sun-dried tomatoes or diced roasted red peppers to the sauce.
