Ingredients
  

  • 10 ounces of organic sprouted tofu I use firm so it retains some of it's chunky texture in the stuffing, but you can use soft as well
  • 3 tbsp. miso I love Korean miso as it's more pungent with chunks of soybean still intact
  • 2 tbsp. Emil's Vegan Mayonnaise or Veganaise
  • 1 tsp. granulated garlic or garlic powder or 2 tsp. minced fresh garlic
  • 1 tbsp. nutritional yeast
  • 2 Portobello mushroom caps without the stems
  • 4 cups fresh baby spinach uncooked
  • 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice separated
  • 1 tbsp. avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp. organic tamari
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Make sure you press your tofu, or it may be too watery and make your filling runny. You can find instructions for that here.
  • Preheat oven to 375° F.
  • Mix one tablespoon of the lemon juice with the avocado oil and tamari and blend into a marinate. Submerge the mushroom caps into the marinade and cover them with marinade on all sides.
  • Place mushroom caps in a baking dish or oven pan and roast for about 15 minutes, or just until they start to become tender. Brush the edges with pan juices to keep the mushroom moist.
  • Meanwhile, make your stuffing. First, take your spinach and quickly steam it just until it is wilted. Drain the spinach and pat with a towel. You can also substitute 1 cup drained frozen spinach in a pinch.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, mix the miso, mayonnaise, and lemon juice into a paste, and add the spinach, stirring into a spinach paste of sorts. Cut your tofu into small chunks, the size of almonds more or less, and stir into the spinach paste.
  • Mash the tofu a little until you get a stuffing with chunks of tofu that holds together fairly well.When the mushrooms are ready, pile a generous mound of stuffing on top of each mushroom. Sprinkle some sesame seed on each mushroom, and return to the oven.
  • Bake the mushrooms for another 25-30 minutes, until the mixture is browned, and cooked all the way through. The mayonnaise in the stuffing should cause a slight soufflé effect, and be a little bit like "dynamite" that you get at the sushi bar.
  • Enjoy immediately with a side of grains or vegetables, or save for a cold lunch entree with a green salad.

Notes

.NOTE: You probably don't need to season this because the miso is naturally salty.
