Categories     HarperCollins     Thanksgiving     Fall     Side     Bacon     Walnut     Green Bean     Mushroom     Soy Free     Peanut Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Vegetable

Yield Serves 6 as a side

Number Of Ingredients 15

For the topping:
4 slices thick-cut bacon, finely chopped
1 medium onion, diced
½ cup walnuts
½ cup finely chopped parsley
For the beans and sauce:
1 pound fresh green beans, rinsed and trimmed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 ounces chanterelle mushrooms, roughly chopped
Hefty pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves of garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 475°F.
  • Make the topping:
  • In a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until it is lightly crisp (it will cook a little more in the oven, so no need to get it extra crispy). With a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Add the onion to the bacon drippings (there should be about 1 tablespoon in the skillet; if there's way more than that, pour out some and save it for future use). Cook the onion until it is soft and tender, about 8 minutes. Transfer it to a bowl.
  • Add the walnuts to the same pan and cook, shaking the pan often, until they are lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Add the walnuts to the bowl with the onion and crumble in the bacon. Add the parsley and toss the whole mixture well. Set aside.
  • Wipe out the skillet (you'll be using it again).
  • Make the beans:
  • Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add the beans and blanch them for 5 minutes. While they cook, prepare a large bowl of ice water. Drain the beans in a colander and immediately plunge them into the ice water to stop the cooking. Drain them again and set them aside.
  • Make the sauce:
  • Melt the butter in the cast-iron skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and a hefty pinch of salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms begin to give up some of their liquid, 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. Decrease the heat to medium-low and add the cream. Cook until the mixture thickens, stirring occasionally, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and add the green beans. Sprinkle them evenly with the bacon and onion mixture and bake until bubbly, approximately 15 minutes.
  • Serve immediately.
