Cashew Stuffed Mushrooms Food

VEGAN STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• To start, place your cashews in a bowl. Pour over boiling water from the kettle and leave them to soak for one hour. After an hour, drain and rinse them.
• While the cashews are soaking, rinse the mushrooms and remove the stems. Keep the stems aside.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Add the soaked cashews to the blender along with the mushroom stems, lemon juice, coconut cream, white vinegar, garlic, chili, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika and salt and blend until smooth.
• Transfer your blended cream cheese mix to a bowl and add chopped green onions and chopped basil and fold in.
• Place your mushrooms on a parchment lined baking tray.
• Stuff each mushroom with the cream cheese filling.
• Now add the breadcrumbs to a bowl, add the melted vegan butter and toss with the breadcrumbs so that they're lightly coated with the butter.
• Sprinkle the breadcrumbs on top of the stuffed mushrooms.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy on top.
• Serve with a sprinkle of ground black pepper and fresh chopped basil.

VEGAN STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Soak cashews in water for 1 to 2 hours. Drain.
• Blend cashews with 1 cup water until creamy. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons more water if needed to blend well.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Carefully break off stems and reserve the caps. Chop stems very finely, discarding tough ends.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped mushroom stems and garlic to the skillet. Fry until any moisture has disappeared, taking care not to burn garlic, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Stir cashew cream, nutritional yeast, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and cayenne pepper into the cooled mushroom mixture. Use a little spoon to fill each mushroom cap with a generous amount of stuffing. Arrange the mushroom caps on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until mushrooms are piping hot and liquid starts to form under the caps, about 20 minutes.

STUFFED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• In large skillet, sauté the onions and cashews with 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium high heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and sauté until onions are soft and lightly browned. Add garlic and let cook a few more minutes.
• In a large bowl combine onion mixture, brown rice, lentils, breadcrumbs, vegetable broth, basil and thyme. Mix together and season to taste with salt and pepper. (The stuffing can be made up to three days in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.)
• Brush both sides of mushroom caps lightly with olive oil and place top-side down on an oiled sheet pan. Stuff mushrooms with about 1/2 cup lentil cashew stuffing, then press one tomato slice on top of the stuffing. (The mushrooms can be stuffed and assembled on a baking tray the day before you plan to bake and serve them.)
• Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the stuffing is browned and the mushroom begins releasing juices. Garnish with extra fresh thyme leaves.
