Ingredients
1/4 cup diced white onion
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
1 cup sliced crimini mushrooms
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 to 2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons bacon bits
1/2 pound green beans, trimmed
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon canned fried onions
Directions
- In a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, sweat the onions in the butter. Add the garlic and mushrooms and saute for 2 minutes. Add the flour and cook for 2 to 5 minutes. Slowly whisk in the milk and season with the cayenne, salt, and pepper, to taste. Fold in the bacon bits.
- Preheat the grill to high heat.
- Blanch the green beans in salted boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove to an ice bath for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the ice bath, drain, and pat dry with a paper towel when cool. Toss the green beans in the extra-virgin olive oil and a little salt and pepper. Grill for 3 minutes.
- Place the green beans on a plate and top with the mushroom sauce and fried onions.
