Set aside. Melt the three tablespoons of butter in a saucepan, add the flour and stir well until you have a smooth paste (roux). Heat the milk in the microwave or stove stop, and add the soup mix if using, then pour slowly into the roux, whisking. Season with salt and pepper and nutmeg. Stir until the it\u2019s smooth and thickened, then fold in the mushrooms and the tomatoes if using, and simmer for about 10 minutes. Stir in the sour cream and remove from the heat.<\/p>\n<p>Make the crispy shallots: Combine the shallots and the oil in a heavy bottomed pan and place on a burner on medium heat. When the mixture begins to bubble, reduce the heat, and fry the shallots stirring occasionally, for 15-18 minutes. Watch carefully, since once they begin to brown, they can burn quickly. Scoop the shallots out and drain on paper towel or drain in a strainer set over a bowl. Reserve the oil for salad dressings or saut\u00e9ed vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>Prepare the green beans: rinse and trim the beans \u2013 remove the stem ends; blossom end optional. Cut the beans into bite size length \u2013 about 1 \u00bd- 2 inches. Place the beans in the basket of a steamer and steam until they\u2019re tender but still bright green.<\/p>\n<p>Assemble the dish: Place the beans in a shallow casserole, and cover with the sauce. Cover with foil and bake in a 350\u00b0 oven for about 30 minutes until heated through and starting to bubble. Remove the foil, top with the shallots, and cook another 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-259\" src=\"https:\/\/debslunch.com\/new-recipes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Green-bean-lime-633x326.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"633\" height=\"326\" srcset=\"https:\/\/debslunch.com\/new-recipes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Green-bean-lime-633x326.jpg 633w, https:\/\/debslunch.com\/new-recipes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Green-bean-lime-633x326-300x155.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 633px) 100vw, 633px\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Originally posted November 2019; for <a href=\"https:\/\/orangetreeimports.com\/\">Orange Tree Imports<\/a> Cooking Class<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mushroom Sauce (based on Ovens of Brittany Cookbook): 2 tablespoons butter 2 cups mushrooms, washed and sliced \u2013 about 1 pound \u00bd cup finely chopped onions 1 large or 2 smaller cloves of garlic, minced or put through a press (about 2 teaspoons) 3 tablespoons butter \u00bc cup flour 2 \u00bd cups milk 2 tablespoons &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/debslunch.com\/new-recipes\/from-scratch-green-bean-casserole\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;From-scratch green bean casserole&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-258","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-side-dishes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/debslunch.com\/new-recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/debslunch.com\/new-recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/debslunch.com\/new-recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/debslunch.com\/new-recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/debslunch.com\/new-recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=258"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/debslunch.com\/new-recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":260,"href":"https:\/\/debslunch.com\/new-recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258\/revisions\/260"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/debslunch.com\/new-recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=258"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/debslunch.com\/new-recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=258"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/debslunch.com\/new-recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=258"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
