Ingredients

  • 8 Large Organic Shiitake Mushrooms
  • 5 Large Organic Chanterelles Mushrooms
  • 1/2 Cup Curry Leaves
  • 1 Cup Sprouted Pumpkin Seeds
  • 1 Cup Sprouted Sun Flower Seeds
  • 1/3 Cup Parsley Leaves
  • 1 Large Green Onion
  • 1/2 of a Jalapeno Pepper Sliced
  • 1 Medium Size Garlic Clove
  • 1 Cup Orange Juice
  • 1 Whole Lime Juiced
  • Pinch of Lime Vest
  • 1 Medium Tomato
  • 1/3 of a Large Purple Onion
  • 1 Table Spoon Raw Soy Sauce

Preparation

Step 1

Step 1 We are using 8 Large Shiitake Mushrooms with the stems removed. Start by pouring a 1/3 cup of Raw Soy Sauce into a small dish. Then take the Mushroom tops and marinate them in the sauce. Cover them completely and then set them aside on a clean plate. Next we are going to make our Paté. In a good blender add the Sprouted Pumpkin Seeds and the Sun Flower seeds into the blender. Next grab your fresh curry leaves and de-stem them but grasping your fingers around one end of the stem and pull the stem towards your body. This pulls the leaves off quickly. Add the leaves to the Blender.

Step 2 Add your Jalapeno, garlic, orange juice, lime juice, lime peel, green onion, and tomato into the blender. Turn the blender on to a medium setting . Use a spatula to guide the paté to the center of the blender. Be very careful not to touch the blade. We are only cleaning the outer edges off, and pushing gently to the center, so everything is mixed by the blender.

Step 3 Now add the Raw Soy Sauce you used to soak the mushrooms earlier. Pour it in. About 2 TB’s. Add the Purple Onion and Parsley and hit pulse. That is it. Now lets stuff.

Step 4 Have your mushrooms upside down, with the bottoms facing up towards you. Stuff the mushrooms with the curry paté you just made.

Step 5 Now cut up your Chanterelles Mushrooms and push them into the stuffing and add them to the center of the plate. On top of them add some more of the curry paté.
