Ingredients
Units
Scale
1 1/2 cups raw cashews, soaked and drained
4 1/2 cups low sodium vegetable broth
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
2 tablespoons vegan butter
1 medium onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 tablespoons onion powder
cracked black pepper
6 ounces fried onions or shallots
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C) and grab a 9x13 inch baking dish. Set aside.
- Blend: Add the soaked and drained cashews, vegetable broth, flour and nutritional yeast to a high speed blender. Blend until mixture is completely smooth. Set aside.
- Sauté: Add the vegan butter to a large skillet and heat over medium on the stove. Add the onions to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan and cook for another 3 minutes or until soft. Add in the green beans, salt, onion powder and cracked pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Simmer: Pour the prepared cashew cream into the pan, over the veggies. Stir everything together and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for about 10 minutes. The cashew milk will thicken considerably. Stir in half of the fried onions.
- Bake: Pour the pan’s contents into your 9 x 13-inch pan. Sprinkle the remaining fried onions over the top. Place pan on center rack of preheated oven and bake for 23-25 minutes or until green beans reach desired tenderness.
