How this works
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 pound cremini mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced small
- 1 cup kale, fully packed with chopped leaves and no stems
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 medium clove garlic
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Sea salt, to taste
- 1/2 cup walnuts, soaked for 4+ hours in water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Prepare mushrooms: If needed, clean mushrooms by gently brushing with a pastry brush or wiping with a damp cloth. Remove stems, saving them for stock.
- Prepare puree: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium size sauté pan over low heat. Add sweet potatoes and cover. Stir often. After sweet potatoes have softened, about 15-20 minutes, puree with a food mill or a food processor. (Alternatively, peel and cut root vegetables into large pieces. Cook in salted boiling water until tender. Puree in a food mill. Mix in a tablespoon of melted butter, olive oil or a light cream.)
- Make pesto: In a food processor, add kale, extra-virgin olive oil, nutritional yeast, garlic, lemon juice and salt. Process until smooth. Add walnuts and pulse until desired consistency. Taste, season with additional salt and lemon juice as needed.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon puree into mushrooms and place on parchment. Place in preheated oven, and bake until tender, 10-15 minutes.
- Garnish stuffed mushrooms with pesto and serve immediately. They are great with spicy kale chips (see separate recipe).
