Raw Green Bean Casserole

Theme Week – Holiday Meal #2

Good morning!

As promised here is the recipe for the classic holiday side dish green bean casserole. We were really pleased how it turned out ; )

Pure2Raw Recipe: Semi Raw Green been casserole

Ingredients:

• About ½ lb of green beans, washed and trimmed
• 1 tbsp coconut oil

Directions:

Place coconut oil in saucepan over medium heat. Add in your green beans a lightly sauté till your desired tenderness ( we let ours go for about 4-5 minutes)

Here are the done green beans

Now we did in ours in a skillet, but you could also lightly steam them.

When done set that in a bowl and get ready to make sauce.

Pure2Raw Recipe: Raw Creamy White sauce

Now our sauce base is not your usually cream of mushroom soup. We were making pumpkin milk the other day and had left sunflower seeds so we threw those it too. Why not, right? Well some of the pulp was thicker. So we got to thinking I wonder if this would make a good sauce? What the heck… let’s try and see!

VIOLA! Our base for green bean casserole was born.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of sunflower pumpkin seed milk pulp (substitute soaked sunflower seeds)
• 1 tbsp tahini
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 date (you can use agave or honey, or stevia)
• 1 tsp sunflower lecithin (can use soy lecithin or just omit)
• ½ tsp salt
• pinch black pepper
• ½ tsp thyme
• 1 small shallot or half of one

Directions:

Place all ingredients into blender and blend till creamy!

Time to pour the sauce over the green beans

And stir sauce around to make sure all green beans are coated.

Now time for topping

Topping:

Caramelized onions

What you need:

• Half of white onion sliced thinly
• 1-2 tbsp Olive oil
• Splash Balsamic vinegar
• Pinch salt

Directions:

Coat the onions with olive oil and balsamic vinegar

Spread out onto dehydrator sheet

Then we dehydrated them for a few hours. Or you may do this in a skillet. The way I used to eat cooked onions was using very little oil and high heat. It doesn’t take too long, but I used to love crispy, burnt things so I would let it go longer than most people

Now to put the whole dish together. Simply top your coated green beans with some of the caramelized onions.

And there you have it folks a nice, simple semi-raw, vegan, gluten free healthy side dish for your holiday meals.

Enjoy!

Thanks for stopping for our recipe for a healthy alternative for this holiday season.

Till next time,
