Homemade Green Bean Casserole (Dairy Free)
Thanksgiving Green Beans
20 ounces crimini mushrooms, half thinly sliced, half minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
pinch nutmeg, optional
2-3 Tbl. flour
1/4 cup sherry
3/4 – 1 cup soy milk or other non-dairy “milk” or broth or even seasoned water
Saute the mushrooms in the frying pan, adding more oil as needed (another 2 Tbl. oil). Cook down the liquid. Mix the green beans with the mushroom sauce in a heatproof serving dish. Top with the crispy shallots. Reheat when needed. Long oven cooking fuses together the flavors and make the green beans meltingly soft.
