Creamy, fluffy mashed "potatoes" and tender, juicy portabello steaks. We were never a meat and potato family when I was growing up, but maybe that's because it never tasted this good!
Portabello steaks
4 portabello mushrooms, stems removed
Balsamic vinegar (is this raw? if not you could probably replace with
nama shoyu or just omit)
1/3 red onion
Olive oil
Cayenne
Salt
Cauliflower mashed potatoes
2/3 cauliflower head
1c cashews, soaked
1-2T nutritional yeast
water, as needed
garlic (optional), to taste
rosemary, to taste
Portabello steaks
Slice mushrooms into four or five.
Slice onion thinly, separate
rings.
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl, until mushrooms are well coated.
Spread on teflex/paraflex sheet on dehydrator tray.
Dehydrate at 118F for 2 hours.
If you have more time, I would marinate and/or dehydrate the mushroom/onion mix for longer...Like marinate for an hour and dehydrate for 3 hours to really soften. If, like me, you don't have that kind of time, just make sure your mushroom slices from the middle thick part of the mushroom aren't too thick, to allow the marinade to really get in there.
Cauliflower mashed potatoes
Wash the cauliflower well and chop. I didn't really chop mine, and it would've been way easier if I had. Put in food processor with other ingredients, except
water. Process, adding a little bit of water at a time until desired consistency is reached.

1. Oh, and how do the mushrooms
Oh, and how do the mushrooms tast just after marinading? I don't have a dehydrator, so I was planning on just marinating them for a couple of hours, yeah?
2. wow! this sounds so
wow! this sounds so delicious! and I love portabello but never really know how to incorporate it so it's not creepy raw (because mushrooms can get a bit creepy sometimes). I'll have to make this this weekend! Thanks!
