Green Bean Casserole
Serves: 8
Prep time: 15 minutes | Cook time: 55 minutes | Total time: 1 hour 10 minutes
Ingredients:
-
2 lb (907 g) green beans, trimmed and broken in half (or cut into roughly 3-inch pieces)
-
1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil, divided
-
1 1/2 cups (240 g) sliced shallots (approximately 4 medium shallots)
-
1 lb (454 g) crimini mushrooms, sliced
-
3 garlic cloves, minced
-
2 Tbsp chickpea flour
-
1 3/4 cups (420 ml) low-sodium vegetable broth
-
1 Tbsp tamari
-
2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
-
2 tsp white miso paste
-
1 tsp dried thyme
-
1/4 tsp salt
-
1/4 tsp black pepper
-
1/4 cup (27 g) slivered almonds
Instructions:
- Read through recipe and put all ingredients in your work area before starting your prep.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add green beans and cook for 4 minutes, or until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain well and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 Tbsp oil over medium-high heat. Add shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and deeply browned at the edges, about 7 minutes. Transfer shallots from pan to a small bowl or plate and set aside.
- Add remaining 2 Tbsp oil to the same large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and sauté for 8 minutes, or until cooked through. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add chickpea flour and stir until smooth, about 1 minute. Add broth, tamari, nutritional yeast, miso, thyme, salt and black pepper. Raise heat and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, until mixture has slightly thickened.
- Transfer mushroom mixture into a 12-inch x 9-inch ovenproof baking dish. Add cooked green beans and gently stir until everything is well combined; season to taste with additional salt and black pepper, if desired. Sprinkle sautéed shallots evenly over the surface of the casserole. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil, sprinkle slivered almonds evenly over the surface of the casserole and return to oven, uncovered, to bake for an additional 5–7 minutes, or until almonds are lightly golden.
