Servings: 6
Ingredients
For the fried onions:
- 1 large white onion sliced into thin rings
- 1 cup plant-based milk (such as soy or almond)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (gluten-free if preferred)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- Oil for frying
For the green beans:
- 1 lb fresh green beans trimmed
- 1 tablespoon vegan butter or oil
- 1 225g button mushrooms sliced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (gluten-free if preferred)
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- ½ cup full-fat coconut milk (the kind in a can)
- ½ cup plant-based milk (such as soy or almond)
Instructions
For the onions:
- Soak the onions in milk for about 5 - 10 minutes.
- In the mean time, whisk together the flour, salt and pepper in a bowl. When the onions are soaked coat them in the flour mixture.
- Heat about ½ an inch of oil in a deep skillet, over medium-high heat. When hot fry the onions in batches until golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on a plate covered with paper towel.
For the green beans:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, and boil the green beans for just 5 minutes. Drain and rinse with very cold water and set aside. The cold water helps keeps the bean bright green and pretty.
- Heat vegan butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, salt and pepper and sauté for about 5 minutes until the mushrooms have shrunken and mushroom juices appear. Add garlic and nutmeg and cook for another minute.
- Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms, stir and cook for another minute. Stir in the vegetable broth, coconut milk, and non-dairy milk. Cook for about 10 minutes until sauce has thickened to a creamy consistency that sticks tothe back of a spoon. Add in the green beans and heat through.
- Top with onions and serve hot.
