Ingredients
1/2 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into bite sized pieces
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 pound mushrooms chopped
3 cloves garlic minced
generous pinch cayenne
2 tablespoons flour
3/4 cup vegetable broth
1 tablespoon dry sherry
3/4 cup soy creamer
to taste salt and pepper
1 1/2 slices grain bread whole
1 tablespoon Earth Balance buttery sticks
1/2 teaspoon each sea salt and black pepper
1 3 oz can fried onions
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 425. Bring 2 quarts of water to boil in a large pot. Add salt and beans, cover and cook for 6 minutes. Drain and shock with cold water (to halt cooking). Set aside. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add mushrooms, garlic, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Cook until mushrooms are very soft and release their juices, 6-8 minutes. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, vegetable broth and sherry and add to mushrooms. Bring to a simmer, stirring until mixture thickens. Add creamer and continue to simmer, 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and stir in beans.
-
Topping: Pulse together bread, earth balance, salt, and pepper in a food processor until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Place green beans in an oiled 9”x13” baking dish and top with bread. Bake in preheated oven for 15 or until warmed through.
