Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Large portabella mushrooms
- 8 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 4 pieces Fresh basil leaves
- 4 pieces Sun-dried tomatoes (reconstituted in water)
- 0.5 cups Raw cashews (soaked for 2 hours)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
- 1 piece Garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
1. Clean the portabella mushrooms by gently wiping the caps with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and use a spoon to scrape out the gills for a clean surface.
2. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and set them aside.
3. In a blender or food processor, combine the soaked cashews, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, garlic clove, sea salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding a small amount of water if needed to reach the desired consistency. This is your cashew cheese.
4. Spread approximately 1-2 tablespoons of the cashew cheese evenly over the bottom side of each portabella mushroom cap.
5. Thinly slice the reconstituted sun-dried tomatoes. Arrange them along with the sliced cherry tomatoes over the cashew cheese layer.
6. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil on each mushroom and sprinkle with optional red pepper flakes if you'd like some heat.
7. Top each mushroom with a couple of fresh basil leaves for added aroma and flavor.
8. Serve immediately as-is or let the pizzas rest at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
