The latest in my series of healthy vegan recipes is a vegan mushroom recipe that makes a delicious appetizer, or you could make a meal by putting the stuffed mushrooms on a bed of greens or grains.
As a relatively solitary representative in our diet from the fungi family, mushrooms bring a very different nutrient profile from mainly other vegetables. They are considered as a significant component of healing in Chinese medicine.
Prep Time: 10 min. Cooking time: 35-40 min. Time from start to eating: 45-50 min. Makes enough for 12 mushrooms.
Healthy Vegan Mushroom Recipe Ingredients
12 mushrooms
1 small yellow onion
1 tsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 Tbsp fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried)
2 Tbsp white or red wine
3 Tbsp water
1 bunch chopped fresh spinach leaves
Sea salt to taste
1/4 cup almonds, toasted and ground
Salt & pepper to taste
2 tsp nutritional yeast (optional)
Healthy Vegan Mushroom Recipe Directions
1. Pull the stems off the mushrooms, chop them, and set them aside. Brush any dirt off the mushroom tops.
2. In a large pan, saute the chopped onion in olive oil until translucent, then the garlic along with chopped mushroom stems and thyme.
3. Once the stems are soft, deglaze the pan with wine (red or white will each give a very different flavor, but whichever you prefer), and then add water.
4. Add the mushrooms into the liquid mixture in the pan, heads down, and spoon a bit of the liquid over them. Let them cook in the liquid for about 5 minutes.
5. As they simmer, grind the toasted almonds in a blender, coffee grinder, or food processor. In a small bow, mix the ground almonds with salt, pepper and, or as desired, nutritional yeast. You can also use pre-ground almonds for this recipe, but they won't have as much flavor.
6. Get the mushrooms out of the pan, and add the chopped spinach to the pan. Add some salt - just allow the spinach to wilt.
7. Take the pan off the stove, and then stir in the almond mixture.
8. Fill the mushroom caps with the filling, then put in a single layer on a baking dish and bake in a preheated oven at about 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes. The mushrooms should start to turn golden, and the stuffing will start to brown.
