Green bean casserole (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
1 large onion
drizzle of olive oil
1/4 cup almond meal
8 oz. mushrooms, chopped
2 Tbsp cooking oil (or butter, or mix of both)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp dried thyme
2 Tbsp almond meal or flour
3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk plus 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Start by making your own oven-fried onions. Cut the onion into thin rings and put in bowl, drizzle olive oil over and toss to separate the onions and to coat with the oil.
- Add 1/4 cup almond meal (or a bit more if desired) to onions and toss to coat, then dump onto a baking sheet, spreading out to a single layer. Put in preheated oven and bake for 8 to 12 minutes or until golden brown, stirring around once or twice; remove when they are golden brown. Set aside.
- Turn oven down to 350 degrees.
- Put the mushrooms in a large skillet with the oil or butter over medium heat and cook until soft and starting to brown, then add the salt, pepper, and thyme, stir to combine.
- Sprinkle in the almond meal or flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring.
- Continue stirring and slowly pour in the milk, then the cream, and simmer gently for another 2 to 3 minutes until mixture thickens. (Cook until sauce reaches the thickness you like.)
- Put beans in casserole dish, pour in creamy mushroom mix, 1/2 of the oven-fried onions, stir together.
- Cover casserole and put in 350 degree oven and cook for 30 to 40 minutes, until mixture is hot and bubbly.
- Uncover casserole dish, spread the remaining oven-fried onions on top and cook, uncovered, another 5 to 10 or until the top and edges start to get brown.
