Vegan Green Bean Casserole
Since the recipe was introduced and popularized by the Campbell company in the 1950s (when it and other companies in the sector began to accompany their products with recipes in which consumers could use them), the Green Bean Casserole has become a must-have for 'Thanksgiving' dinner in millions of American homes, where it is served as a special side dish every last Thursday of November.
This 100% plant-based version is a creamy recipe, with an exquisite flavor and with tasty nuances, since fried onion, one of its main ingredients, gives it a sensational touch, with its crunchy texture and that salty and sweet touch at the same time. It is also a very easy dish to make, so it is perfect to enjoy a unique and festive dish without having to spend too much time in the kitchen or carry out complicated steps.
This delicious side dish is the ideal way to incorporate green beans into our menu and thus benefit from all the nutrients that it provides, including fiber, potassium, silicon, beta-carotene, vitamin C and vitamins of group B (especially vitamins B6 and B9 or folic acid).
As a whole, it is a juicy dish, free of cholesterol, free of lactose and loaded with nutrients such as flavonoids, fiber, allicin, alliin, isoflavones, protein, lecithin, carbohydrates, beta-carotene, vitamins C, E and group B ( B2, B3, B6 and B9 or folic acid), sulfur, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, potassium, selenium, silicon, sodium and, to a lesser extent, copper, iron and zinc.
If you want, although the classic recipe does not include it, you can add a little cashew parmesan on top to enhance its flavor even more. This one adds a delicious touch.
