Ingredients:

• 1 shallot
• 1/3 cup flour
• 3 cups green beans
• 2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 onions
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 pound cremini mushrooms
• 1 cup creme fraiche
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• Salt, to taste
• Pepper, to taste
• Oil, for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare Fried Shallots:

   • On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss the shallots with 1/3 cup of flour, ensuring they are evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
   • In a large, deep skillet, heat oil until shimmering.
   • Add the shallots in 2 batches and fry over moderate heat until very crisp, about 3 minutes.
   • Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried shallots to paper towels, then sprinkle with salt.

2. Cook Green Beans:

   • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the green beans until just tender, about 5 minutes.
   • Drain and refresh under cold running water. Pat dry with paper towels.

3. Prepare Mushroom Sauce:

   • Melt the butter in a large, enameled cast-iron casserole over medium heat.
   • Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
   • Stir in the paprika, cayenne pepper, and a large pinch of pepper. Cook for 1 minute.
   • Add the cremini mushrooms, cover, and cook over moderate heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
   • Uncover and cook, stirring, until browned, about 5 minutes longer.
   • Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons of flour and gradually stir in the stock until smooth.
   • Simmer the mushroom sauce over low heat, stirring, until thickened, about 5 minutes.
   • Stir in the creme fraiche, fresh lemon juice, and cooked green beans.
   • Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the beans are heated through, about 5 minutes.
   • Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Bake:

   • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • Transfer the green bean and mushroom mixture to a large glass or ceramic baking dish.
   • Cover the casserole with foil and bake until bubbling, about 20 minutes.

5. Serve:

   • Uncover the casserole, scatter the fried shallots on top, and serve hot.

Make Ahead Tips:

• The assembled casserole can be refrigerated overnight. Just let it return to room temperature before baking.
• The fried shallots can be kept overnight in an airtight container. Recrisp them in a 350°F (175°C) oven and let cool before using.
