I thought ATK emphasized how sauntering mushrooms in oil is a bad idea since they act as sponges? In past videos, they taught to use water first to break down the mushroom’s air pockets
To speed up I par cooked carrots in microwave. Turned out great.
Thanks for finally doing something Vegan!
I love a bean gratin; that said, don't get it in your mind you're getting anything close to cassoulet.
Can someone from the makeup team stop making Lan look so made up? The weird makeup in these recent videos of her is really not good at all. Hire someone who knows how to do makeup for Asians pleaaaase!!!!!
I could swear they've told use to cook mushrooms in water before using oil……
The dish? Looks great! The fact that I have to sign up for a trial on a paid subscription just to see the recipe? Not cool. Why not paste it into the video description? After all, you have 2.5 million subscribers: I feel like you can afford to give away the occasional recipe, and people can buy the subscription if they want access to all of them.
Would sweet potatoes work in place of the carrots? This looks like a lovely dish and so yummy.

Great content, as always! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (mistake turkey blossom warfare blade until bachelor fall squeeze today flee guitar). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
Brilliant! Lan did an awesome job, and Bridget is her usual fantastic self… May I say also that Lan's hairstyle is beautiful.
Well that looks delicious and it's always a pleasure to see you Ms. Lam…💖
Looks absolutely delicious. Always great to have another delicious bean recipe in the backpocket ❤
I’d serve it with a side of chicken.
If I see Lan on the thumbnail, I click no questions asked. even if I don't intend to make a given recipe I inevitably learn some sort of technique or broad food science concept that's super applicable elsewhere.
Thanks for more recipes without meat.
More and more of us are opting for personal health as well as health for the planet.
So again, thank you.
Much appreciated
Odd dish but i would try it
Yes Lan! This looks delicious. 😊
Lan makes it, it must be good. If only beans didn't csuse lower GI symptoms.😢
Seems like a strange recipe to me. Gratin – I was expecting to see cheese in there. I don't think mushrooms and beans go together that well. Not sure why, because mushrooms snd potatoes are divine. Large chunks of carrots don't make sense here either. The bread would have been better made into croutons. Or substituted with potatoes. Glad that she just fried the mushrooms instead of boiling them first, like she did in another video. I tried that technique and hated it.
Lan has the best techniques as recipes on ATK
I have been vegetarian since 1992. Mushrooms are a great way to give main dishes flavor, texture, and umami, and please don't restrict yourself to button mushrooms, and avoid canned mushrooms entirely. Here, Lan uses creminis, which is a real step up from white button mushrooms. In other dishes, shiitakes, portabellas, trumpet mushrooms, and more can give a diversity of flavor, texture, and appearance. Portabellas (or portobellos, if you prefer) are my favorite "meaty" addition to recipes.
This looks amazing! Thank you!
Nice. I saw 'gratin' and assumed cheese. Guess I don't know what gratin is 😄
Translucent onions take way more than four minutes!

Make a great side dish too
Lan mentioned Thanksgiving. She made me realize cubed sweet potato would be an excellent addition. Thanks Lan. Gorgeous as always.
More vegan/vegetarian recipes!
Very nice recipe, looks delicious i like cannolini beans , crimini/baby bella mushrooms , & some baby spinach with sauteed garlic
We found we have a box of stuffing mix we need to use. I will partially rehydrate it, using it instead of the bread.
Lan read my mind, this looks perfect for thanksgiving!
Why yes, this recipe segment did end rather abruptly. The final 60 seconds:
Lan: Just nice and savory. Touch of acidity.
Bridget: Mmm. The beans add heft. They’re creamy, but they’re not overcooked even though they’re canned.
L: It brings all the textures you’d find in a cassoulet, but in a lighter, more vegetarian way.
B: Thank you, Lan. This is spectacular.
B: Well, if you’d like to make this substantial dish for your vegetarian friends or for yourself, then it starts by creating a super savory base with sautéed mushroom, tomato paste and sherry. Add creamy white beans along with their liquid and top with seasoned, cubed rustic bread for a super crunchy top.
B: So, from America’s Test Kitchen, White Bean and Mushroom Gratin. You can get this recipe plus all the recipes from this season along with our product reviews and select episodes and those are all on our web site.
B: These mushrooms are so meaty.
L: They’re really great, aren’t they?
B: Or is meat mushroom-y? Now I’m questioning everything.
L: <laughs>
I know this is picky but why 10 oz. of mushrooms when they only come in packages of 8 or 16 oz?
Nice! Beans are so food for you, any recipe that makes beans good is a win
Looks amazing – I am not a fan of mushrooms, any thoughts on a substitute?
