Green bean bake with a crunchy topping

A vegetable side for a family dinner, with lactose-free milk and cream in the sauce. Divide it into six portions alongside the rest of the meal.

Serves or makes: 6 side portions

Ingredients

• 450 g green beans
• 15 mL garlic-infused oil without garlic pieces
• 25 g butter
• 20 g gluten-free plain flour
• 250 mL lactose-free milk
• 100 mL lactose-free cream
• 50 g gluten-free breadcrumbs
• A pinch of nutmeg and black pepper

Method

1. Heat a conventional oven to 190°C. Briefly boil the beans until just tender, then drain.
2. Melt the butter with the oil. Stir in the flour and cook for a minute. Gradually whisk in the milk, then the cream and seasoning.
3. Combine the beans and sauce in a shallow oven dish. Cover with breadcrumbs.
4. Bake for 20–25 minutes until bubbling and golden. Ingredient selection and portion size still matter for a low-FODMAP diet.
