     Jenn skipped the leeks and just replaced them 
	with the already prepared French's Fried Onions - frying your own is really 
	not worth the effort.  Also, the oyster mushrooms are pretty expensive - I 
	think you could just go with shitake and be fine.  |

    Preparation Notes | 
	 
  
	| 3 Tbsp | 
	Butter | 
	
    -   Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet 
	over medium-high heat. 
 
	-   Add all mushrooms and thyme; sauté 5 minutes.
	
 
	-   Add 2 tablespoons shallots; sauté until mushrooms 
	are tender, about 3 minutes. 
 
	-   Add Madeira and simmer until almost all liquid 
	evaporates, about 2 minutes. 
 
	-   Add cream and simmer until slightly thickened, 
	about 2 minutes. 
 
	-   Set sauce aside. 
 
	-   Cook beans in large pot of boiling salted water 
	until just tender, 5 minutes. 
 
	-   Drain. 
 
	-   Transfer to bowl of ice water; cool. Drain. (Sauce 
	and beans can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover separately; chill.)  
 
    -   Pour enough oil into large deep saucepan to reach 
	depth of 4 inches. 
 
	-   Heat oil to 350°F. Place 1/4 of leeks in small 
	metal strainer. 
 
	-   Lower strainer into oil; fry until golden, 40 
	seconds. 
 
	-   Lift strainer from oil. Drain leeks on paper 
	towels. 
 
	-   Repeat with remaining leeks in 3 more batches.
	
 
	-   Season leeks with salt. 
 
    -   Melt 1 tablespoon butter in heavy large skillet 
	over medium heat. 
 
	-   Add beans and remaining 1 tablespoon shallots; 
	toss to heat through. 
 
	-   Season with salt and pepper. Place beans on 
	platter.
 
    -   Bring sauce to simmer. 
 
	-   Spoon sauce over beans. Sprinkle with fried leeks.
