- 1-2 large Portobello Mushroom or equivalent volume of smaller mushrooms
- Dairy-free pesto (recipe below)
- Tofu ricotta
- Olives, sliced (optional)
- Fast cooking green veg like: asparagus / snow peas / sugar snaps
- Tomato, 1 large or equivalent volume of smaller
Fill your mushrooms with a generous amount of pesto (heaped Tbsp for large mushie, heaped tsp for small mushie) and then double that amount of tofu ricotta. Top with optional sliced olives.
Cook 180 C (350 F) for around 20 minutes with tomato (sliced in half if large) plus abundant fast cooking green veg and seasonings of choice. I like macadamia oil, salt, garlic powder and fresh rosemary.
For extra protein? This would go well with the butter beans and / crispy quinoa from the Italian Sheet Meal. Dairy-free pesto (5-6 serves)
This pesto is super versatile. I make mine with a variety of raw nuts though pecans are my current favourite. The vegetable is also very flexible. I like kale, basil and broccoli; however, use your favourites.
- 2 big handfuls of kale
- 1 handful of basil
- 1/2 cup broccoli (including the stem)
- 1/2 cup raw nuts, soaked for a couple of hours or covered in boiling water for a couple of minutes
- 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon of avocado or macadamia oil
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt.
Blend all together.
