Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt liberally. Don't worry most of the salt will be thrown out while draining the beans. When the water comes to a boil add the trimmed beans . Cook for 3 minutes, drain and reserve.
Heat oil in a large oven safe skillet. Add shallots and garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Add red pepper and thyme along with sliced mushrooms. Cook for 3-4 minutes more or until lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper.
Mix ½ C almond milk with the corn flour. Add the remaining milk and vegetable stock/water to the pan. Bring it to a boil. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Reduce heat and slowly stream in the flout mixed milk while stirring the mix. Increase the heat to medium and bring the mix to a boil. Simmer for 3 to 5 minutes until thickened a little. Add the beans and toss to coat. Turn off t he heat.
Add ½ C of the onion and mix in with the beans. Level the top and spread the remaining onions evenly on top .
Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until warmed through and bubbly and slightly browned on top. Serve immediately (Careful, the pan will be hot ).
