Vegan Green Bean Casserole
Introduction to Vegan Green Bean Casserole
This is the Vegan Green Bean Casserole you’ve always wished you had. Most of us have had some version of a green bean dish that is made with cream of mushroom soup and fried onions on top. I’m not hating on that dish because I have had more than one serving of it over the years. I have found that you don’t need another heavy, cream-based side dish at Thanksgiving.
Sometimes you need a simple classic green bean dish. This is that dish. We have added fresh herb vinaigrette and farro sausage to build a robust side dish. As always we have added a few little aspects to this dish that makes it seem simple when looking at it, but looks can be deceiving because this dish is packed with flavor. The addition of Dijon mustard and vinegar paired with fresh herbs and the sweet, rich caramelized onions creates a really nice balance.

Ingredients
- 4 pounds Green Beans
- 1 cup Caramelized Onions see recipe
- ½ cup Farro Sausage see recipe
- 2 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 Tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
- ⅓ Cup Parsley chopped
- ⅓ Cup Chives chopped
- 2-3 Tbsp Thyme chopped
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- ½ cup Cashew Cream optional, see recipe
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season the water with a big pinch or two of kosher salt, this will help season the green beans as they are cooking. Add the green beans and cook, approx. 3-5 minutes. Once the beans are just starting to turn tender, you check this by taking a bean and start pulling it apart if it starts pulling apart easily they are cooked and ready to be strained. Once strained rinse under cold water to stop the beans from cooking. Set the beans aside.
- Combine the Dijon mustard and olive oil together in a bowl whisk to combine, add the red wine vinegar. Add the chopped herbs and salt. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 400° F. Add the cooked green beans and caramelized onion to the herb vinaigrette, toss to coat evenly.
- Assembly of the green bean dish. Place the green beans & onion mixture into the baking dish, next add the farro sausage over the top, pushing the farro into the beans to help distribute.
- *Optional creamy step: For those of you that really like the creamy style of green beans here is what we can do. Spread a thick layer of cashew cream on top of the green beans, season with salt and pepper and then add a few more caramelized onions to the top.
- Place into the oven, covered and bake for 20 minutes or until hot.
