Ingredients

  • 3 cups green beans washed and trimmed
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion sliced
  • 1 cup mushrooms sliced
  • 2 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 4 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream (If desired, substitute 1 cup heavy cream for 2% or whole milk)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
For the onion topping

  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 2 tablespoon milk of choice I used unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
    1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Grease a medium sized baking dish and set aside.
    2. In a mixing bowl, make the crunchy onion topping. Add your onion, milk, almond flour, salt, pepper, and olive oil, and mix until all the onions are coated.
    3. Heat your oil in a non-stick pan on medium heat. When hot, add the onion mixture and stir fry for 4-5 minutes, until golden. Remove from the heat and set aside
    4. In a deep pot or saucepan, heat up 3-4 cups of water until boiling hot. When hot, add the green beans and blanch them, by letting them simmer for 3 minutes. Drain and transfer into a large mixing bowl.
    5. In a non-stick pan, add the olive oil and place over medium heat. When hot, add the sliced onions and saute for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and mushrooms and saute for an extra 3-4 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to the bowl with the green beans.
    6. Place the pan back on the heat and add the butter. Once sizzling, add the vegetable stock, heavy cream, salt, and pepper, and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes, to thicken. Remove from the heat, pour over the green bean and vegetable mixture, and mix well.
    7. Transfer the green bean casserole to the greased baking dish. Bake for 35 minutes, before removing from the heat and topping with the crispy onions. Place back in the oven for a further 10 minutes, until the edges are bubbling.
TO STORE: Leftover casserole should be stored in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 1 week.

TO FREEZE: Remove the casserole from the dish and place it in a shallow container. Cover it completely, then store in the freezer for up to 6 months.

TO REHEAT: Green bean casserole is best reheated in a preheated oven, for 10-12 minutes, until the sides are bubbling. If you’d like this quicker, just microwave it for 1-2 minutes, until hot.
