Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Green Beans

    Trim the ends of the fresh green beans and blanch them in boiling salted water for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain and immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking. Once cooled, drain again and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add sliced mushrooms, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and have released their moisture.

  3. 3

    Make the Vegan Cream Sauce

    Pour the vegan cream into the skillet with the mushrooms and stir to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the blanched green beans to the skillet with the mushroom cream sauce. Mix gently to coat the beans evenly with the sauce.

  5. 5

    Bake the Casserole

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Transfer the green bean mixture to a baking dish and top with fried onions. Bake for 20-25 minutes until heated through and the top is golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
