Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lbs (454 g) fresh whole green beans
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup garbanzo bean flour
  • 1/4 tsp fresh pepper, ground
  • 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup crispy French fried onions, lightly salted
  • 2 large portabella mushrooms
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red peppers
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 11 ounce (312 g) carton of portabella mushroom soup
  • 6-8 ounces (170-227 g) half and half
  • fresh ground pepper

Instructions

  1. For the baked green bean fries
  2. Gently whisk eggs, adding fresh ground pepper.
  3. Place whisked eggs in a large bowl.
  4. Mix panko and crispy onions in a bowl and crush.
  5. Place flour on one plate and panko/onion mixture on another plate.
  6. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Prepare an ice bath.
  7. Blanch raw green beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then immediately transfer to the ice bath until cool.
  8. Dredge damp green beans in flour, shaking off excess.
  9. Coat green beans in the egg mixture, then dredge in the panko/onion mixture.
  10. Place coated green beans on a lined baking sheet, slightly spaced.
  11. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (218°C) for 8-10 minutes, turn, and bake for another 8 minutes, or until panko crumbs are golden brown and beans are tender.
  12. For the sautéed portabellas
  13. Gently brush off debris from mushrooms and slice into 1/4-inch pieces lengthwise.
  14. Place mushrooms in a dry non-stick pan, or with a drizzle of oil. Sprinkle with salt.
  15. Sauté mushrooms until they release liquid and become limp and tender. Add a bit of oil and crushed red pepper. Continue to sauté until tender.
  16. For the cream of mushroom sauce
  17. Add condensed mushroom soup and half-and-half to a medium pot. Heat gently until hot and keep warm.
  18. To arrange, place mushrooms on individual plates, top with crispy green bean fries, and drizzle with cream of mushroom sauce.

Notes

  • For extra crispy green bean fries, ensure they are completely dry before dredging in the panko mixture.
  • To reduce sodium, use low-sodium or no-salt-added condensed mushroom soup and crispy fried onions.
  • Leftovers can be stored separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
