Vegan green bean casserole
Ever since the recipe was introduced and popularized by the Campbell company in the 1950s (when it and other companies in the industry began to accompany their products with recipes in which consumers could use them), green bean casserole has become a Thanksgiving dinner must in millions of American homes, where it is served as a special side dish on the fourth Thursday of November.
This 100% plant-based version is a creamy recipe with an exquisite flavor and tasty nuances, since the fried onion, one of its main ingredients, gives it a sensational touch with its crunchy texture and its sweet-and-salty note. It is also a very easy dish to make, so it is perfect for enjoying a special, festive dish without spending too much time in the kitchen or following complicated steps.
This delicious side dish is the ideal way to add green beans to our menu and thus benefit from all the nutrients they provide, notably fiber, potassium, silicon, beta-carotene, vitamin C and B-group vitamins (especially vitamins B6 and B9 or folic acid).
All in all, it is a juicy, cholesterol-free and lactose-free dish packed with nutrients such as flavonoids, fiber, allicin, alliin, isoflavones, protein, lecithin, carbohydrates, beta-carotene, vitamins C, E and B-group vitamins (B2, B3, B6 and B9 or folic acid), sulfur, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, potassium, selenium, silicon, sodium and, in smaller amounts, copper, iron and zinc.
If you like, although the classic recipe doesn't include it, you can sprinkle a little cashew parmesan on top to bring out its flavor even more. It adds a delicious touch.
