Hey everyone this is Alessandro Bruxel from Home Chef Seattle, Today i'm going to be showing you
how to make a delicious green bean dish, this is a different take on your traditional green bean
casserole. We're going to be sauteing some green beans with bacon, garlic, shiitake mushrooms and
a cream sauce and we're gonna be topping it with some perfect onion rings. You can also just follow
the recipe for the onion rings if you wish. This is a great side dish, it's also great on its own.
I hope you enjoy it, let's get started! We are going to start by cutting the onion for the onion
rings. Use one large yellow onion, peel it and then cut it into one fourth of an inch sections,
then separate the rings. We're going to be using the outer bigger and medium rings
and saving the center sections to use in the green beans.
Set the onion rings aside and finely chop the center sections,
chop three cloves of garlic,
wash one pound of green beans, then trim the ends and cut them into two or three sections.
Then trim and slice the shiitake mushrooms.
Chop 3 or 4 slices of bacon.
Heat up a large skillet and add the bacon. Saute for a few minutes then add the onion,
once the onion is nice and translucent and the bacon starts to crisp up, add the garlic
and now it's time to add the shiitake mushrooms
saute the mushrooms for a few minutes,
add a drizzle of olive oil if the pan gets too dry. Next add the green beans.
Season with salt and fresh ground black pepper
Cover the pan and let the green beans steam for two to three minutes
then add three quarters of a cup of heavy cream
let the cream reduce for a few minutes then taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed.
Set the beans aside at low heat to stay warm.
Now let's work on the onion rings. Add half cup of all-purpose flour
into a bowl, then coat the onion rings with the flour.
Next season the leftover flour with a teaspoon of smoked paprika, salt and fresh ground black pepper
then add one beaten egg and just enough milk, about 1/3 of a cup to get a nice and soft batter.
In another dish, add one cup of Panko bread crumbs. Dip the onion rings in the batter,
let the excess drip and then coat it with the bread crumbs
Heat up a skillet with oil and fry the onion rings. Flip them half the way and fry until
they're nice and golden. Drain them over some paper towel and sprinkle with some salt.
To serve, add the green beans and top it with the onion rings.
And it is time to eat! bon appetit!
