Ingredients

225 g brown button mushrooms
1 onion
50 g ready-to-use crispy fried onions
1 whole garlic bulb
3 g garlic powder
800 g canned green beans, drained weight
15 ml sunflower oil
20 g inactive nutritional yeast flakes
≈ ¼ tsp ground nutmeg

6 g fine salt
0.5 g dried thyme
300 g plain extra-firm silken tofu
60 ml unsweetened plain soy milk

Preparation

Step completed · 1
Heat the oven to 190 °C conventional. Drain the green beans and weigh them drained. Peel and chop the onion. Separate the garlic bulb into cloves, peel and chop them. Heat 7.5 ml oil in a frying pan. Soften the onion for about 5–7 min until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another 2–3 min without burning it. Transfer the cooked onion and garlic to a blender with the silken tofu, soy milk and nutritional yeast. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Step completed · 2
Clean the mushrooms and chop very finely. Heat the remaining 7.5 ml oil in the frying pan. Cook the mushrooms for about 5–7 min until their released liquid has evaporated. Pour in all the tofu cream. Add the thyme, nutmeg, salt, onion powder and garlic powder. Simmer gently for about 10 min, stirring, until thick and evenly combined.
Step completed · 3
Fold all the drained beans into the sauce. Transfer to a baking dish and scatter the crispy onions over the top. Bake for about 18–22 min until hot through the centre and the onions are golden. Serve hot.
