Crispy Onions
- Toss onions with flour, panko, salt and pepper. Heat oil and fry onions until golden.
- Transfer to a tray lined with paper towels to drain excess oil and cool.
Creamy Mushroom Sauce
- Melt butter, add mushrooms, cook until softened, then add garlic.
- Stir in flour, gradually add broth and cream, and cook until sauce thickens.

Notes
For best results, fry onions until light golden. They will crisp further when cooled and baked. Make ahead by preparing sauce and beans and storing them in the fridge. Fry onions a day before.
