Ingredients

2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and sliced on the bias

8 ounces mushrooms, sliced

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

1 cup raw almonds

1 cup unsweetened soy, hemp or almond milk

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

dash black pepper

2 tablespoons chopped almonds, lightly toasted

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Blanch green beans in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain and arrange green beans in a lightly oiled 9" X 9" casserole dish.

Heat 2 tablespoons water in a skillet and saute mushrooms and onions until the mushrooms have lost most of their liquid. Add cooked mushroom/onion mixture to green beans.

Meanwhile, place remaining ingredients except toasted chopped almonds in a high powered blender and blend until smooth. Pour sauce over beans and mushrooms.

Bake uncovered at 350 degrees until bubbly, about 15 minutes. Top with toasted almonds.
