"Really Green" greenbean-casserole

This was Aiden as a baby in the hospital. He was such a sweet baby.

Every thanksgiving I make greenbean casserole to bring to family get-togethers. This year I will be making two verions the bad-dairy-cooked version (for the fam) and the delicous-raw-alive verison. Here is the simple recipe. Enjoy!!!

Soak a cup of almonds the day before you make the dish for fresh Almond Milk * do not sweeten.

Soak a cup of cashews the day before also for the mushroom soup.

The night before : Either slice 2-3 hand fulls of green beans "fancy style" or buy them that way, if its possible. Next clean and slice 3-4 cups of mushrooms. Marinate the two veggies in 1/2 cup of olive oil ,salt and juice of one lemon. Let it sit over night either on the counter, in the fridge or in the dehydrator (which ever works best).

Next slice 3 onions into rings-medium thickness (not to thin, not to thick). Marinate in 1/3cup of olive oil, 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, 1/4 teaspoon of stevia (or you can use a teaspoon of agave) and spices. I used rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage and parsley. Yummmm . . . onions :). Let it sit for atleast an hour and before heading to bed throw it in the dehydrator.

In the morning you will have crispy crunchy onions, try not to eat them all, lol. Blend your almond milk and strain it for the soup:

Shiitake Soup from Matt Amsden's "RAWvolution"--------------------------------------------------------I used a mix of shitake and portabellos - but I think next time I'll just use portabellos' for a more classic taste.

3C Almond milk------2C mushsooms------3 stalks of celery (really gives it the soup taste)------------2-3cloves of garlic (but i like garlic powder for soups)-------1/3 C lemon juice-----1 tsp of sea salt -----1/4c olive oil ( I did not add this because of all the marinade oil) . Then I added a cup of cashews to the recipe for creamy goodness. Add some more spices and blend. Mix everything together, leave about half the onions for a crunchy topping. Enjoy!!! I'm off for a sled walk with kids.
