Prep Time 30 minutes mins
Cook Time 20 minutes mins
Total Time 50 minutes mins
Cooking Temperature 180 C / 350 F / Gas Mark 4
Course Lunch, Main Course

Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds Green Beans
  • 1 oz Dried Mushrooms
  • 1 Onion sliced
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1 cup Fresh Bread Crumbs
  • Milk
  • Oil
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • Dried Bread Crumbs
  • Salt
  • Ground Pepper
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • Marjoram
  • ¾ cup Parmesan Cheese grated

Instructions
 

  • Dampen the fresh bread crumbs with just enough water to moisten them; set aside.
  • Peel and slice the onion; set aside.
  • Peel and mince the garlic; set aside.
  • Wash, top and tail the green beans, and simmer them until just barely tender. Then drain, chop coarsely, set aside.
  • Sauté the onion in a frying pan over low heat until transparent, then add to it the beans, the garlic, the oil and the marjoram, and let it sauté for a further 15 minutes or so, stirring somewhat frequently.
  • Start heating your oven to 180 C / 350 F / Gas Mark 4.
  • Remove from heat, and stir in the grated parmesan, the dried mushrooms, the milk-soaked bread crumbs, the egg, and the salt and pepper. Mix well.
  • Press into an oiled pie dish. Score the top with a knife to make a diamond-shaped pattern, and sprinkle the top with some dried bread crumbs, a bit of olive oil, and pop in the oven to bake for around 20 to 30 minutes or until piping hot and set.
  • Serve hot or room temperature.

Notes

For the fresh bread crumbs, you'll want about 1 ¼ slices of fresh bread.
This is a version that uses bread crumbs instead of potato. It is just as authentic.
The Italians use the kind of slender green beans we call "filet beans".
