Instructions

1. Clean mushrooms with wet towel and remove stems. Set steams aside for future use.

2. Place marinade ingredients into a plastic resealable bag along with portobellos. Shake bag several times to completely coat mushrooms.

3. Place mushroom with marinade in refrigerator for 6-8 hours. Once mushrooms have marinated, remove from bag and make the «cheese.»

4. Place almond milk, sesame oil, agave, cumin, salt, Brazil nut and nutritional yeast into a high-powered blender. Blend until cheese mixture is thick and creamy.

5. Remove cheese from blender and place in mixing bowl.

6. Add jalapeño, parsley and cilantro to the cheese mixture. Mix all ingredients well by hand.

7. Evenly distribute cheese onto portobellos. Pour remaining marinade from bag into the bottom of 9×13 glass dish. Place cheese stuffed mushrooms in glass baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and place in dehydrator for 6 hours at 105°.

8. Remove mushrooms and serve topped with tomato mushroom concassé (to make the concassé, simply mix together all prepared ingredients in a glass bowl.)

9. ENJOY!
