Pesto Stuffed Mushrooms

Adapted from a recipe by Alissa Cohen. I found it on Raw Food Talk, but I believe it is also in her book – Living on Live Food.

“Served warm out of the dehydrator, these are heavenly! These taste like a soft, breaded, cooked, stuffed mushroom.”

Ingredients

  • 14 button mushrooms, washed and stemmed
  • MARINADE INGREDIENTS
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons Namu Shoyu
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
  • STUFFING INGREDIENTS
  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 2 cups basil
  • ½ cup pine nuts
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Preparation

Combine the marinade ingredients in a bowl, add mushrooms and allow to marinate for a couple of hours, turning them occasionally. Blend all stuffing ingredients in a food processor, until smooth. Place mushrooms top side down on a plate. Scoop a small amount of stuffing into each mushroom cap. Dehydrate at 105 degrees for 5-6 hours, or until soft.

These are so good. I didn’t use the marinade at all, just filled the mushrooms with the pesto and dehydrated them. I’m now trying olive tapanade and sun dried tomato tapanade stuffed mushrooms.

I made the ones from Alissa’s book, and I swear it converted a non-mushroom lover like me into a moaning, eyes closed, very happy gal!!!

Mmmmm. I’ve just made this and my mushies are in the dehydrator. I’ve not used the marinade as I am impatient! I’ve also used 1/2 basil, 1/2 dandelion and cashews. I’m eating the leftover pesto on halved cherry tomatoes and it’s soooooo good! Thanks for the inspiration….

I just made this, but didn’t have any pine nuts, so I used cashews. I don’t have a dehydrater, so I just put the stuffed mushrooms on a plate resting on my radiator. This is so delicious and the pesto’s to die for!!
