Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 slices thick-cut bacon
1 red onion, sliced thin
1 jalapeño, seeded and diced small
1 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed
1 cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup fried onions

Steps:

  • Place the bacon in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat and cook until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the bacon and all but 2 to 3 tablespoons of the bacon grease.
  • Add the onion and jalapeño and cook for a minute or two, then add the green beans. Cook until the green beans are bright green, an additional minute. Add the chicken stock, garlic powder and a good pinch of both salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and lightly cover, allowing the some of the steam to escape. Cook until the liquid is evaporated and the beans are starting to soften, but still have a bite, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Transfer the beans to a serving vessel. Crumble the bacon and sprinkle it over the top of the beans, along with the fried onions.

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 medium onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons panko bread crumbs
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Nonstick spray
1 pound fresh green beans, rinsed and trimmed
1 gallon water
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 ounces mushrooms, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup half-and-half

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
  • Combine the onions, flour, panko and salt in a large mixing bowl and toss to combine. Coat a sheet pan with nonstick spray and evenly spread the onions on the pan. Bake in the oven until golden brown, tossing every 10 minutes, for approximately 30 minutes. Once done, remove from the oven and set aside until ready to use.
  • Turn the oven down to 400 degrees F.
  • While the onions are cooking, prepare the beans. Bring a gallon of water and 2 tablespoons of salt to a boil in an 8-quart saucepan. Blanch for 5 minutes. Drain in a colander and immediately plunge the beans into a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain and set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms begin to give up some of their liquid, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and nutmeg and continue to cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute. Add the broth and simmer for 1 minute. Add the half-and-half and cook until the mixture thickens, approximately 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in 1/4 of the onions and all of the green beans. Top with the remaining onions. Place into the oven and bake until bubbly, approximately 15 minutes. Remove and serve immediately.
