I love the traditional green bean casserole off the French’s fried onion can! But sometimes, just to be different, I put a layer of white rice mixed with sauteed onions on the bottom of the casserole dish, so there’s a layer of rice and bean casserole. And to have a ‘meal in a dish’ effect, sometimes I’ll cook boneless chicken breasts on the top. If I want to be a bit more ‘fancy’, I’ll throw in some roasted pecan bits or add some whole cranberries as garnish.

I have had lots of GBC’s over the years. The best are just the ones that follow the directions off a can of French’s Durkee Fried Onions.

But for my money, serving spinach maria in individual custard dishes (ramekins) can’t be beat for taste and presentation!

I fucking hate green bean casserole with all my heart and soul. So I make green beans al limone – cook green beans in plenty of boiling water until just a little tender. Shock in ice water to preserve color. Just give them a dip in hot water right before adding sauce, or serve cold (which is how I love them best.)

Sauce:
1/2 shallot, very finely minced
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp dijon mustard
Mix these together.

Add 2 tbsp lemon juice and about 1 tsp zest. Then begin whisking in olive oil, bit by bit, until a nice, tasty emulsion is formed. I would say about 1/4 cup of olive oil more or less.

Taste. If it is too bitter, add some sugar to taste. Pour over cooked green beans and serve.

I’m confused. I saw that newsletter. Is this the “top secret” thing you were working on?

Don’t know if this is a special twist or not… But my mom always made a green bean casserole I absolutely LOVED.

It had 1-2 cloves of garlic, sauteed onions, probably a half-pound of bacon (this could probably be replaced with prosciutto or a veggie bacon alternative), tomatoes, basil, salt and pepper — and of course, lots of green beans.

Sorry I can’t tell you the exact amounts of each ingredient. I say play around with them and see what you like best!

Great… now I’m hungry.
