With Easter just around the corner I decided to try and create my own version of Green Bean Casserole that was not only Gluten Free but Dairy Free. Is it bad that I look forward to the holidays for the food? I doubt I am the only one... Easter is no exception! Ham, paleo mustard sauce, cheesy potatoes, green bean casserole, deviled eggs and the list goes on. I am slowly taking all the recipes that I love and giving them a healthier twist!
I am not a big mushroom fan, but portable mushrooms are growing on me. So I decided to give them a try for this recipe. Another time consuming ingredient are the critical fried onion. I was in a hurry the first time I tried this recipe and just threw all the ingredients in the bowl, the fried it up. It was AMAZING. I have a feeling this Green Bean Casserole will become a staple in my house!
How to make Green Bean Casserole:
First, you start with the mushroom sauce by sautéing the mushrooms. Originally using sliced mushrooms, so I could pick them out, but my husband made me take them out and chop them up. I HATE when he is right, which is sadly most of the time. I digress, next, I added minced garlic and allowed it to sauté. Then I added the Nutpods, Chicken Stock, Chicken Stock slurry and spices. Allow to thicken
While you are making the sauce blanch your green beans. Don't worry about your ice water bath. Mix the green beans with the mushroom sauce and put in the oven for 30 minutes. While the Casserole is cooking slice up you shallots. Mix together the Almond Flour and spices. Add an egg, shallots, and almond flour mixture together. Stir until everything is evenly coated Heat up coconut oil over medium heat. Once heated add the onions. Spread them out to allow them to cook evenly. You might have to do two batches. If you do you might need to add a little bit more coconut oil.
Once the Casserole is done top with the crispy shallots and ENJOY your Green Bean Casserole! This dish is perfect for your holiday dinner or any dinner and is guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser!
