MASHED CAULIFLOWER GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE [VEGAN, GLUTEN-FREE]

INGREDIENTS

FOR THE CASSEROLE:

• 3/4 cup coconut milk
• 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
• 1 cauliflower
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 14 ounces green beans, trimmed
• 1 onion, diced

FOR THE TOPPING:

• 2 handful of gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 3 garlic cloves
• Olive oil
• 1/4 cup nutritional yeast

PREPARATION

TO MAKE THE CASSEROLE:

1. Cook cauliflower florets in a steamer in the microwave for around 8 minutes. Or just cook them on the stove, which might take a bit longer. Heat a skillet with a bit of oil or just with vegetable broth, that’s up to you. Add onions and green beans and cook them.
2. When the cauliflower is done, give it into a bowl of a blender or food processor, add coconut milk, nutritional yeast, and season with salt and pepper. Then blend until really creamy and smooth. Don’t worry if you don’t own a blender or food processor you can do it with a potato masher.
3. Preheat oven to 405°F.

TO MAKE THE TOPPING:

1. In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs with a tablespoon of olive oil and one crushed clove of garlic.

TO ASSEMBLE:

1. Last, assembling is an easy play as always: start with the green bean mix, followed by the mashed cauliflower, and end with the topping. Bake for around 15 minutes.
