Description
A homemade twist on the classic green bean casserole, rich and creamy with fresh ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1 cup cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup crispy fried onions (for topping)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onions and sauté until they start to soften, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the mushrooms and garlic; cook for another 5 minutes, until everything is golden and fragrant.
- Add the trimmed green beans to the skillet, followed by the broth and cream. Bring this to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in the soy sauce and Dijon mustard, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Let everything bubble away until the beans are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- Once done, remove from heat and finish with a generous sprinkle of those crispy fried onions.
Notes
Letting the onions and mushrooms develop a nice color is crucial for flavor. Consider a squeeze of lemon juice for added acidity.
