Clean the portabella mushrooms by gently removing the stems and scraping out the gills with a spoon. Wipe the mushroom caps with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt.
Soak the raw cashews in warm water for at least 20 minutes to soften them, then drain and set aside.
In a blender or food processor, combine the soaked cashews, zucchini (chopped into smaller pieces for blending), lemon juice, nutritional yeast, garlic clove, sea salt, and water. Blend until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.
Transfer the cashew cream into a mixing bowl. Fold in the chopped parsley, diced cherry tomatoes, finely chopped spinach, and a dash of black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Brush the inside of each mushroom cap with a small amount of olive oil to enhance the flavor and texture.
Spoon the cashew filling mixture generously into each mushroom cap, spreading it evenly.
Garnish with additional chopped parsley or cherry tomato slices, if desired.
Serve immediately as a fresh, raw dish, or allow the flavors to meld for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
