Description
A delightful classic side dish made with fresh green beans, a creamy mushroom sauce, and topped with crispy fried onions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms (preferably cremini)
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup fried onions (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the trimmed green beans and blanch for 5 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
- In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and turn golden, approximately 7-10 minutes.
- Stir in the vegetable broth, garlic powder, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then gradually whisk in the heavy cream. Allow the mixture to thicken slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
- Combine the green beans with the sauce, then transfer the mixture to a baking dish. Top with fried onions.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Notes
For a deeper flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine to the sauce before the cream. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
