  • 1 garlic clove (minced)
  • 2 tbsp white wine (optional)

Green Bean Casserole

  • 3 cups mushroom sauce
  • 0.5 lbs green beans
  • ½ cup fried onions

Fried onion rings

  • 4-5 shallots (sliced)
  • 2 tbsp tapioca flour

Directions

Step 1

To prepare the mushroom sauce heat avocado oil in a medium sized pan. Over medium to high heat saute onions and garlic for about 2 minutes until onions are translucent.

Step 2

Add mushrooms and saute for another 5 minutes until mushrooms begin to brown.

Step 3

Deglaze with white wine, add vegetable stock, milk, parsely, almond pulp, salt and pepper and simmer for about 15-20 minutes over low heat.

Step 4

Take out 2 tbsp of the mushroom sauce and mix with one tbsp of tapioca starch. Add tapioca mixture back in the sauce and simmer for another 2 minutes (while stirring) until sauce thickens up. Set aside for the casserole.

Step 5

Preheat oven to 350F.

Step 6

To prepare the casserole steam green beans for about 10-15 minutes or cook in boiling water for about 5-10 minutes.

Step 7

Transfer green beans into a 9 inch diameter baking dish about 2-3 inches deep. Pour mushroom sauce over the beans and bake in the oven for about 25-30 minutes.

Step 8

In the meantime, evenly coat onions with tapioca flour in a small bowl and fry in vegetable oil.

Step 9

Once the casserole is done, garnish with fried onions, parsley, and serve while still warm. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
