- Skillet
- Silicone Spatula
- Stove Top
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoon unsalted butter divided
- 4 shallots thinly sliced
- ¼ cup water
- 1 pound Green Beans trimmed
- ½ cup white mushrooms diced
- ½ cup water
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
Instructions
- In a saute pan, add 2 tablespoons butter and heat on high. Then add in the shallots. Reduce to medium heat with lid on and cook for 10 minutes, mixing often so that the shallots don't burn. Half way through cooking add the water and mix well. Cook until golden brown and mostly crispy. Remove the crispy shallots from the pan and set to the side.
- Place the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the sauté pan, melt, and add the green beans and diced mushrooms in the pan with ½ cup water. Season with salt and pepper. Cook on high for 8 minutes until tender and most of the liquid has evaporated.
- While green beans cook, in a measuring cup (or bowl) mix together the heavy cream and corn starch.
- Pour the heavy cream/corn starch mixture into the pan. Turn the heat off and stir. Cover and let sit for 2 additional minutes.
- Place the green bean casserole in a serving dish, and top with crispy shallots. Enjoy.
Notes
- Crispy Gluten Free Onions - For the crispiest shallot topping, make sure the shallots are thinly sliced. For an extra crispy crunch you can toss them evenly coating them with a gluten-free flour or cornstarch before frying.
- Creamier - To make the casserole even creamier, you can use a combination of heavy cream and chicken or vegetable broth.
- Overcook - Don't overcook the green beans during blanching or steaming; they should still have a slight crunch as they will continue to cook in the casserole.
- Seasonings - Season each layer of the casserole with a pinch of salt and pepper for well-balanced flavors.
- Smokiness - If you want to add a smoky dimension, consider mixing in some cooked and crumbled gluten-free bacon or using a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
