Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (186°C). Add 1 cup raw cashews to a bowl and cover with hot water. Set aside.
- Beans: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a generous pinch of salt. Add 2 lb green beans to the boiling water and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until bright green but still crispy, then drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Sauce Base: Add 2 Tbsp olive oil to a large saute pan and set over medium heat. Add 16 oz sliced button mushrooms, 1 medium yellow onion (diced), and 6 cloves garlic (minced). Cook until mushrooms have sweat out their moisture, about 8 minutes.
- Blend Sauce: Transfer about ¾ of the mushroom mixture to a standing blender, along with 3 cups vegetable broth and the soaked (and drained) cashews.Blend on high until sauce is smooth and creamy, adding more broth as needed to reach a thick sauce consistency (sauce will thicken as it sits).
- Assemble: Either in a large bowl or right in the casserole dish (9x13-inch), stir together strained green beans, sauce, remaining mushroom mixture, ½ tsp salt, and half of the fried onions. Press into the casserole dish to form an even layer.
- Bake: Bake for 20 minutes. Top with remaining fried onions, then continue baking for 10 minutes, or until sauce is bubbling at the edges.
Notes
- Use the oven to reheat! The fried onions become less crispy after sitting in the fridge, so if you love that crunchy result, just throw some fresh ones on top! They’ll brown right up in the oven.
