French Fried Onions

Step 2

Start by cutting 2 large onions in half and slicing them thinly using a mandoline. Place in a bowl and add 1 cup of buttermilk, covering the onions. Let sit for 15 minutes.

Step 3

Drain onions and toss them in all purpose flour to coat. Once they’re nicely coated, use a fine mesh sieve to shake off the excess flour.

Step 4

Heat up vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet to 300°F. Add onions and cook for 7-9 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 5

Remove and place on a plate lined with paper towels. Season with salt. Set aside.

Step 7

Stem, smash and slice 8 ounces of Cremini mushrooms. Then dice them into smaller pieces.

Step 8

In a high walled sauté pan, add 3 Tbsp of butter along with your sliced mushrooms and a pinch of salt.

Step 9

Once the moisture has evaporated out of the mushrooms, add 1 heaping Tbsp of flour. Mix to combine for 1 minute.

Step 10

Add 2 cloves of crushed garlic and cook for about 30 seconds before adding 1 Tbsp of cognac to deglaze.

Step 11

Once all the alcohol has cooked out, add 1 ½ cups of chicken stock and 1 cup of heavy cream. Mix to combine and bring to a simmer before adding a dash of soy sauce.

Step 12

Cook until dark, thick, and rich.

Step 13

Green Beans

Step 14

Cut the stems off your green beans and then slice into 1 inch pieces.
