Author Notes
This green bean casserole is inspired by ginataang kalabasa at sitaw, which is a Filipinx coconut milk-based stew containing squash, string beans, and often pork, shrimp, and fish sauce. Mixing a can each of coconut milk and coconut cream helps achieve a consistency close to the cream of mushroom soup in the classic casserole. Miso paste replaces the animal products in ginataang, making this recipe vegetarian. The recipe calls for store-bought fried shallots, which can be found online or in local Asian markets; if these aren’t available to you, store bought crispy fried onions would certainly make this more traditional for a Thanksgiving dinner, though the Filipinx influence will still shine through. —Kevo Rivera
