Servings: to 10
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large onions peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 cup canned Cannellini beans drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 8 ounces mushrooms any variety, cleaned and sliced
- 1 pound frozen green beans thawed completely
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375º F.
- Heat the oil in a medium skillet. Add the onions and sauté over medium heat until golden and just starting to brown, stirring often.
- Transfer half of the onions to a food processor along with the beans. Process until completely smooth. Set aside.
- Sprinkle the flour slowly in with the remaining onions in the skillet, until they’re evenly coated. Raise the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring often, until they’re slightly browned (but not burned!) and crisp, stirring often. Remove the onions to a plate and set aside.
- Wipe out the pan and add the mushrooms. If it seems too dry, you may add a dash of water. Cover and cook over medium heat until the mushrooms are wilted, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off the excess liquid.
- Combine the bean puree, mushrooms, and green beans in a large mixing bowl and stir together. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Transfer the mixture to a lightly oiled 2-quart casserole dish (or divide between two smaller casserole dishes). Top with the reserved onions, followed by the bread crumbs.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the green beans are tender and the breadcrumbs are lightly browned and crisp.
- Let the casserole stand at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes, then serve.
