GREEN BEAN AND PEARL ONION CASSEROLE
Steps:
- Blanch the green beans and pearl onions by placing them into a large pot of rapidly boiling water. Cook them for about 2 minutes, until the green beans have brightened in color. Remove the vegetables from the boiling water with a strainer then plunge into an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain them, then remove the skins from the onions and set aside.
- Coat a skillet with olive oil and butter over medium heat. Sweat the garlic and shallot down until they caramelize. Add the bay leaves then the assorted mushrooms. Stir to combine, season with salt, pepper and thyme. Sprinkle the mixture with flour to tighten up. Add the milk and boil for 3 minutes to thicken.
- Place the green beans and pearl onions in a 2-quart casserole dish. Pour the "mushroom soup" over the vegetables. Toss to make sure the vegetables are well coated. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Top with fried onions and continue to bake for 10 minutes.
GREEN BEANS W/ ROASTED FENNEL AND PEARL ONIONS
I LOVE this! The fennel bulb adds a delicate flavor. Adding the seeds further adds to the flavor of the fennel. I have used both fresh & frozen pearl onions, Using frozen pearl onions works out great without all the fuss of removing the skins off fresh onions. You can roast the onion & fennel bulb and make the buttery paste a head of time. Then combine with the hot green beans. Veggie amounts are flexible. This is amazing and a great side to serve with chicken, pork of beef. Source of Recipe: Inspired by Emeril & tweaked by Moi.

Steps:
- Fill a large high sided skillet with some water, adding enough to be just shy of the rim of the pan by about 1 inch. Place over high heat and bring up to boil; add a big pinch of salt and the green beans. Cook for about 5 minutes, the beans should still be crisp. Drain the beans and then run them under some cold water to stop them from cooking. Reserve the beans while you start the onions.
- Return the skillet you cooked the beans in to the cook top over medium heat. Add the almonds and toast stirring every now and then until golden, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the almonds from the skillet and reserve. Return the skillet to the heat and add the butter and olive oil and heat until the butter has melted. Add the onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook stirring frequently until the onions caramelize, 20 to 25 minutes. Add the thyme, and cook for another 5 minutes.
