Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400
- Dice onion, mince garlic, chop mushrooms, green onion whites and all the green beans into about 2 inch pieces. Cut shallots into very thin rings or strings (whichever you prefer)
- Grate 2 cups of fresh parmesan
- In a medium pot heat a little bit of oil and throw in all of the yellow onion and green onion whites and let them cook down a little then add in garlic and mushrooms.
- Once the onion, garlic and mushrooms have softened add in chicken stock, heavy cream, parmesan and flour
- Constantly stir for about 5 minutes until mixture starts to thicken
- Add in green beans, stir and let simmer letting the green beans soften in the mixture. Occasionally stir
- While the green beans are simmering you can start on the fried shallots!
- In a small bowl mix together 1/2 cup of flour, milk and salt and pepper to make your batter
- Have a separate bowl of just flour ready to coat your shallots
- In a medium pot pour frying oil about 2 inches
- Once oil reaches to about 360 degrees they shallots are ready to be fried
- Grab a handful of shallots, dip them in the batter, then into the flour and ~carefully~ place them into the oil
- Let onions sit in oil for about 1 minute on each side. Then using a frying skimmer or tongs fish them out and place them on a wire cooling rack or on a plate with a napkin to soak up leftover grease.
- Once all shallots have been fried set aside
- Transfer green beans into an oven safe casserole dish and mix in about a handful of the fried shallots
- Put the remainder of the shallots on top of the green beans and then place in the oven for about 10-15 min or until bubbling
- Let sit for 5 min before serving
- Enjoy!
