Ingredients
- 2 pounds of fresh green beans
- 3 cups of vegetable broth (or equivalent amount of vegetable bouillon and water), divided
- ½ cup of raw cashews
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- ½ teaspoon of ground black pepper
- ½ cup vegan butter
- 1 small onion diced
- 2 cups of button mushrooms sliced or dicced
- 4 medium cloves of garlic roughly chopped
- ½ cup of all-purpose flour
- 2 cups of crispy fried onions (we use store-bought)
Instructions
- To prepare the green beans, wash them, trim the stem ends, cut them in half, place them in a steamer basket, and steam for 7 minutes. Remove the green beans from the steamer, rinse them with ice cold water to preserve the green color, and set aside.
- In a highpowered blender, combine 1 cup of the vegetable broth and the cashews and blend on high until smooth. Blend in the remaining 2 cups of vegetable broth, salt, and pepper and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- In a large pot over medium high heat, melt the vegan butter. Add the onion, mushrooms, and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the flour and whisk to create a roux. Continue to whisk the thickened roux constantly for 3 minutes. Add the broth and cashew mixture and whisk continuously for 2 to 3 minutes, until thickened (thickening will happen fast and suddenly, so be sure to turn off the heat just as the mixture gets thick enough).
- Spoon the green beans and the creamy mixture into a 9 × 13 inch baking dish and mix until well combined. Top with an even layer of fried onions and bake for 20 minutes.

Notes
- Time-saving hack: Use pre-sliced mushrooms and diced onions. You can even purchase pre-trimmed and chopped green beans.
- For the most flavor: Use brown mushrooms rather than white ones.
- For a homemade onion topping: For crispy onions, sauté them until lightly browned and crisp in plenty of oil. For caramelized onions, cook them over low for 40-60 minutes until well caramelized.
- Adjust the green bean texture: Steam them for less or more time, depending on whether you prefer tender-crisp or more tender beans.
