This delicious little number is from Living on Live Food by Alissa Cohen. If you want to go raw and need a good “starting out” cookbook, I love this one. Get the DVD too and you’re all set! This was my first raw cookbook and it’s super inspirational. This recipe is great as an appetizer or an entree.
Raw Pesto Stuffed Mushrooms
18-22 button mushrooms, washed and stemmed
Stuffed with:
1 cup walnuts
½ cup pine nuts
2 cups basil
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic
½ t sea salt
Place mushroom caps top side down on dehydrator tray. Blend the stuffing in the food processor and scoop a small amount into each mushroom.
Dehydrate at 105 degrees for 5-6 hours until soft. Serve with a large green salad and enjoy!

This is my favorite recipe book too!
Even after buying many more, I always return to Alissa’s. The mushrooms look yummy!

That looks amazing! I needed a good mushroom recipe. We are going to start growing them, I can’t wait!

Thanks for all the raw food inspiration. I have a quick question for the next time you do a Q&A Session. I would love to hear your opinion on Yoga and the Raw Food diet. I know most Raw Foodies feel like yoga is the best workout. I am new to Yoga and loving it! However, many people are giving me a hard time about the New Age aspect of it.
Thanks!

is there a way to make this recipe if you don’t have a dehydrator?

Whitney…yes, as with any dehydrator recipe, you can put your oven on the lowest temp with the door cracked until they are done. You could also just bake these for a non-raw version.
