BAKED MUSHROOMS AND WHITE BEANS WITH BUTTERY BREAD CRUMBS



Baked Mushrooms and White Beans With Buttery Bread Crumbs image

Not really a ragout and not quite a gratin, this hearty meatless casserole has it all: deeply browned mushrooms, creamy white beans, salty feta and crisp bread crumbs. The result is rich, comforting and perfect for a cold night in. Fresh bread crumbs are worth making or seeking out for texture's sake, but panko will also work nicely. Toss the bread crumbs with melted butter, then briefly broil them for a golden, crunchy topping, a nice contrast to the dish's silkiness. Paired with a bright salad and a hunk of good bread, this dish works well as a vegetarian main course, or as a companion to sausages and other roasted meats.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound mixed mushrooms, such as cremini, shiitake or oyster, torn or roughly chopped into bite-size pieces
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 small shallot, finely chopped
2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 (15-ounce) can white beans (such as cannellini or great Northern), drained and rinsed
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (about 1 cup)
1 cup vegetable stock, chicken stock or water
2 tablespoons roughly chopped Italian parsley
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup fresh, coarse bread crumbs or panko
Kosher salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Prepare the mushrooms: In a large (12-inch) ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until they begin to brown and crisp around the edges, 7 to 10 minutes. Add the butter, shallot, garlic and thyme, and stir until the shallot has softened slightly and the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Season with salt.
  • Turn off the heat and stir the white beans into the skillet. Toss until combined, then top evenly with feta. Add the stock and bake until the stock is slightly bubbling and the feta has slightly softened, 13 to 15 minutes.
  • While the beans bake, make your bread crumbs: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Turn off the heat, add the crumbs and toss until evenly covered with butter. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove the mushroom mixture from the oven and turn on the broil setting. Top the mushrooms and beans with the bread crumbs, then broil until the bread crumbs are golden and the feta is crisp on the edges, 1 to 2 minutes. (Don't walk away!) Scatter with parsley and serve directly from the pan.

RUSTIC WHITE BEAN AND MUSHROOM CASSEROLE



Rustic White Bean and Mushroom Casserole image

From the Veganomicon. I'm not normally a bean purist, but this turns out much better if you don't substitute the dried beans for canned. Just try to soak the beans overnight or while you're at work during the day.

Provided by Eat Your Vegetables

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups dried white beans, soaked for at least 8 hours
1 small onion, peeled & sliced in half
1 stalk celery, cut into 2 pieces
1 small carrot, sliced in half lengthwise
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons dried tarragon
1/4 cup olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 large leek, sliced thinly
1/2 lb mushroom, mixed varieties
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
fresh ground black pepper
2 1/2 cups breadcrumbs, preferably fresh and homemade
1/3 cup walnuts, chopped until resembling coarse crumbs (use food processor)
1/4 cup vegan margarine
2 teaspoons dried sage
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Drain and rinse beans. Add to stockpot with 4 c cold water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 3 minutes. Skim off any white foam from the top. Cover the pot and lower the heat to medium. Add the onion, celery, carrot, thyme and tarragon. Simmer for about 45 minutes.
  • Remove the carrot, onion and celery (either discard or use in a stock). Lower the heat to low and continue to simmer. The beans should resemble a thick stew, if there's too much liquid, leave the pot uncovered and stir occasionally.
  • About 10 minutes before the beans are done, place the garlic and 2 T oil in a cold skillet. Heat the skillet over medium heat, allowing the garlic to sizzle for about 30 seconds. Add the chopped leeks and saute 1-2 minutes. Scrape the leeks into the beans.
  • Add the remaining 2 T oil, allow to warm, and add the mushrooms. Sprinkle the mushrooms lightly with 1/2 t salt and saute until most of the mushroom liquid has evaporated, anywhere from 8-12 minutes depending on the types of mushrooms. Add the mushrooms to the beans.
  • Turn off the heat and season the beans with the remaining salt and pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Make the sage bread crumbs: Melt the margarine in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Stir in the bread crumbs, walnuts, sage, oregano, and paprika, and season with salt and pepper. Stir constantly until the mixture is lightly coated, 3-4 minute Remove from the heat.
  • Pour the beans into a casserole dish. Top with the sage bread crumbs. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the bread crumbs are golden and the beans are bubbling.

  • Use a variety of mushrooms: This will add depth of flavor to the stew. Some good options include cremini mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and oyster mushrooms.

  • Season the stew to taste: Be sure to taste the stew before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
  • Serve the stew with a side of bread or rice: This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
