Vegan Green Bean Casserole

So we ate all of this dish before I had a chance to photograph it but believe me it was tasty looking. This even satisfied the craving for the classic holiday dish by my carnivorous sister! :) Tofu and a bit of corn starch help to achieve a creamy, rich texture. Whole Foods carries a natural brand of crispy fried onions that taste even better than the old canned stuff.


1 bag pre-trimmed, pre-washed green beans (makes for easy prep)

1/4 chunk firm tofu (not drained)
1 container of natural crispy fried onions
1/2 onion chopped
1 cup of vegan mushroom gravy
1 tbsp vegan Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp corn starch
1/2 tbsp poultry seasoning or other savory herb blend
Salt & Pepper

Blend together all ingredients except beans, chopped onions and fried onions with hand mixer until frothy. Steam beans until tender and spread in greased 9x9" pan. Mix half of crispy onions and chopped onions in with liquid mixture and pour evenly over beans. Cover with foil and place in 425 degree oven for 10 minutes, remove foil and sprinkle remaining fried onions over top and cook for another 6-10 minutes or until beans are bubbly and onions are browned.
