Green Bean Cashew Casserole Recipe

Preheat oven to 350 F. Cut fresh green beans into 1 inch pieces. Cook covered, in a small amount of boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet heat oil over medium high heat. Cook onion, uncovered, in hot oil for 4 to 5 minutes or until golden brown. Slowly add wine or broth, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes or until liquid is nearly evaporated. Add 1/4 cup of the cashews and the half and half or light cream.

Bring to boiling. Reduce heat to medium. Cook, uncovered, for 3 minutes. Stir in cooked green beans. Spoon mixture into a 1 1/2 quart casserole. Top with bread crumbs and remaining cashews. Bake, uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes or until top browns and mixture is heated through.
