My final Thanksgiving recipe! Green bean casserole has always been one of my favorite dishes on Thanksgiving – there was no way it wasn’t making its way onto the vegan menu this year. Honestly, I think this recipe is way better than any other ones I’ve ever had/made . . . very pleased with how it came out!
Ingredients
-1/2 Cup raw cashews, soaked overnight or for at least 4 hours
1/2 Cup almond milk, or water
-2 medium onions, thinly sliced
-3 Tablespoons breadcrumbs
-3 Tablespoons flour
-2 lbs (frozen) cut green beans
-1 Tablespoon oil
-1 medium onion, diced
-3 cloves garlic, minced
-2 8 oz packages of mushrooms, chopped
-1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
-1 Tablespoon tamari
-1/4 Cup white wine
-Pepper to taste
Directions
-Place cashews in a bowl & cover with water. Soak for at least 4 hours & up to overnight
-Blend soaked cashews with almond milk in food processor until completely smooth & creamy. Set aside
-Preheat oven to 475°F
-Place two sliced onions, bread crumbs, & flour in a bowl, tossing to combine. Be sure to separate each individual onion piece. Spread onions in an even layer on baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray or lined with non stick paper/foil. Spray onions once again with cooking spray
