Ingredients
Mushrooms:
2large portobello mushrooms
2tbsp. olive oil
2tbsp. tamari or liquid aminos
1tbsp. fresh lemon juice
Salsa Cruda:
1very large vine ripened tomatoesor 2 medium; diced
1/3cupjulienned fresh basiluse more or less depending on how much basil you like
1tsp. chopped garlicabout a clove
1/2tsp. balsamic vinegar
2tbsp. olive oil
Pinch of salt and pepper to taste
Optional:
Prepared hummus or baba ghanouj
Hemp seed for garnish
Instructions
First, get the mushrooms going. Preheat your oven to it’s lowest temperature (usually 170º F).
Mix the olive oil, tamari, and lemon juice in a small bowl to make a marinade.
Remove the stems from the mushrooms. Using a pastry brush, generously brush the bottoms of the mushrooms with the marinade. Set the mushrooms on a baking sheet and brush the remainder of the marinade into the tops of the mushrooms. It is okay if there is some extra juice from the marinade resting in the mushroom. The mushroom will absorb the flavors while it is sitting in the oven, so use up all the marinade.
Place in the oven and process for about 3 hours. You will know it is ready when the mushroom is completely tender to the touch and moist all the way through.
While the mushrooms are dehydrating, make the salsa cruda by mixing all the ingredients in a small mixing bowl.
When the mushrooms are ready, fill each mushroom with a generous mound of the salsa. For an extra layer of flavor and protein, spread some hummus or babaghanouj on the mushrooms before putting the salsa cruda on top.
Garnish with sprinkles of hemp seed.
