Ingredients

 * ¼ cup nutritional yeast
 * ½ tsp crushed red pepper
 * 1 red onion, sliced
 * 1 tbsp coconut oil
 * 1 ½ tsp salt
 * 1 ½ cups water
 * 1 ½ cups mushroom, chopped
 * 1 ½ lb green beans
 * 2 cups chopped parsnips
 * 3 cloves garlic, minced
 * Pepper to taste

Preparation

 * 1) In a wide-bottomed saucepan, add ½ tablespoon of coconut oil and set to low heat. Add the onions and cook for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to caramelize. If the onions look dry, splash a bit of water into the pan.
 * 2) Put the parsnips in a steamer for about 10 minutes. Set aside and let them cool.
 * 3) Remove the ends of the green beans and cut them into 2-inch (5 cm) pieces. Steam them for 8 minutes. Set them aside in an 8×8-inch (200×200 mm) baking dish.
 * 4) Once the onions have caramelized, set them aside. Sauté the mushrooms in the same pan for one minute.
 * 5) Add garlic, and stir for 5 minutes.
 * 6) Add half of the garlic and mushroom mixture to the green beans.
 * 7) Preheat the oven to 350 F.
 * 8) Put the other half of the garlic and mushroom mixture, as well as the steamed parsnips in a blender. Add the nutritional yeast, salt, pepper, and red pepper. Blend until smooth.
 * 9) Pour the blended mixture over the mushrooms and green beans. Stir to coat, and top with the caramelized onions.
 * 10) Bake for 30 minutes.
 * 11) Serve.
