  • 3-4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, cold pressed
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano or thyme (optional)

Preparation

To Make the Mushrooms:

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C. Line a baking sheet with a parchment paper.
  2. Gently wash, remove stems from mushrooms. Carefully carve out a portion of the inside of the mushroom just enough to make room for stuffing.
  3. Put mushrooms, smooth side on top, on a prepared baking sheet. Cook for 5 minutes.

To Make the Stuffing:

  1. In a small skillet, warm coconut oil & saute onions for 3 minutes, adding water if necessary.
  2. Add garlic, salt & pepper and continue to cook for 2 more minutes.
  3. By now the mushroom caps should be ready to come out of the oven. Remove them from the oven, let cool a little bit. Flip the mushrooms, hollow side on top.
  4. Add tomatoes, spinach, oats & water to onion mixture – mix well, cook for 5 minutes.
  5. Finally mix in oregano & coconut aminos. Turn off heat.
  6. Spoon 2 Tabs filling into each mushroom cap, packing it as tightly as possible.
    Bake 10 mins, until mushroom is tender to touch & fillings are lightly browned.

To Make the Feta:

  1. Put everything into a food processor (messy to clean up) and blend until smooth.
  2. Top each mushroom with a teaspoon of feta (or cook them after adding).

raw vegan collard wraps

May 18, 2020 / Lyn Jones / 0 Comments

Packed full of veggie goodness and some nuts – processed in the food processor into an almost ground meat texture, this faux meat phenomenon is an excellent base for many raw recipes. The mixture is incredible – the ground pecans mixed with garlic & ginger have a real hearty consistency which can be added to all sorts of recipes. In these raw vegan collard wraps, the pecan mixture adds a nice firm texture that blends well with the creamy avocado and crunchy peppers. – serves 4

Ingredients
  • 4 large collard leaves
  • 1 red capsicum
  • 1 avocado
  • 2-3 ounces alfalfa sprouts
  • 1/2 lime
  • 1 cup raw pecans
  • 1 tablespoon tamari use coconut aminos for paleo version
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
  1. To prepare collard leaves wash leaves, cut off white stem at the bottom that has no leaves and place them in a bath of warm water with juice of half a lemon. Let soak for 10 minutes. Dry the leaves off with paper towels and using a knife thinly slice down the central root (to make it easier to bend the leaves for wrapping).
  2. Slice avocado and pepper.
  3. In a food processor combine pecans, tamari, cumin (or garlic ginger mix) and olive oil. Pulse until combined and mixture clumps together.
  4. Place a collard leaf in front of you and layer nut mix, red pepper slices, avocado slices, a drizzle of lime juice and alfalfa sprouts. Fold over the top and bottom and then wrap up the sides. Slice in half and serve.
