Calories 580kcal
Ingredients
- 2 pounds green beans (fresh, trimmed)
- 5 slices bacon (fresh, trimmed)
- 2 cups cremini mushrooms (fresh, trimmed)
- 2 cups onions (fresh, trimmed)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil (fresh, trimmed)
- 2 cups cauliflower (fresh, trimmed)
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 3 egg yolks
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 400F.Combine the cauliflower, garlic cloves and coconut milk in a sauce pot, cover with a lid and heat over medium heat.
- Cook here until the cauliflower is fork tender.In the meantime, arrange your green beans side by side vertically in rows, in one flat layer over 2 sheet pans.
- Sprinkle the mushrooms all over.
- Cut the bacon into small pieces and distribute it evenly over all of the veggies.
- Sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
- Roast for 20 minutes, middle and bottom rack.
- Rotate the pans after 10 minutes.In the meantime heat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add in the oil or butter then the onions.
- Sprinkle in the salt.
- Use tongs or forks to gently toss.
- Then cover with a tight fitting lid.
- Stir every 5 minutes until green beans are ready.
- They will begin to get tender, then translucent, then browned and finally soft and sweet with some toasty bits!By now the cauliflower should be soft.
- Carefully transfer all the contents of the sauce pot to a blender.
- Blend on high until smooth, add in a little bit of water or broth if needed.
- Then add in the egg yolk one at a time until fully combinedWhen the green beans are ready remove them from the oven.
- They will be browned and crunchy, try not to eat them all.Arrange them in a casserole dish, I like to arrange them in little bunches with the greens beans (with the mushrooms and bacon pieces) all facing the same way, makes it easier to serve.
- Pick a few pieces of bacon out and set them aside.Pour the cream sauce all over the green beans and use a spatula to spread it out.
- Then top with the caramelized onions and those bacon pieces you set aside.Pop the casserole in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.Remove from the oven, and serve!
