- 3 cups fresh green beans (sliced into smaller pieces)
- 2.5 cups button mushrooms (sliced)
- 2 onions (sliced)
- 1 garlic cloves (minced)
- ½ cup cream cheese
- ½ cup chicken stock
- ½ cup cheddar (grated)
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- to taste salt and ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF
Boil the green beans in well salted water until fork tender. Approximately 10 minutes. Drain the water and set aside. (IMPORTANT: The water for boiling the green beans should be WELL salted - think sea water salty).
While the green beans boil, sauté the onions, mushrooms and garlic until caramelized. Season with salt, pepper and the nutmeg.
Add the chicken stock and be sure to scrape all the bits from the bottom of the pan.
Add the cream cheese and allow to melt and warm up. Taste test and add salt if needed.
Mix in the green beans until everything is evenly combined and transfer everything into a casserole dish.
Top with cheddar and pop into the oven until the cheese is melted and bubble. About 10 minutes.
Tips and Tricks:
For an optional, but delicious topping: Set aside a small handful of your sliced onions and lightly coat them in coconut flour. Add oil to a small pan and fry the onions until golden. Let them sit on a paper towel when you remove them from the oil and lightly salt.
Sprinkle these on top of the casserole before serving.
