Vegan Green Bean Casserole with Coconut Milk

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a 1 tsp of salt (optional) and green beans. Bring back to a boil and cook for 3-5 minutes until beans are tender.

Step 2

Drain and shock with cold water or ice water to stop cooking. Put into a baking dish.

Step 3

You can reuse the same pot you used for the beans. Heat to medium heat. Add oil and onions. Cook while stirring for 3-5 minutes until onions are soft and translucent.

Step 4

Add mushrooms and soy sauce to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until cooked through.

Step 5

Add coconut milk. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half and the mixture is thick. This will take about 5-10 minutes, depending on how high your heat is.

Step 6

Pour on top of green beans and gently mix. At this point, you can cool and refrigerate to cook later. Or put in the oven for 10 minutes at 350 degrees F to heat through.

Step 7

Remove from oven and top with fried onions before serving.
