List of Ingredients




1 medium onion, diced small
2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
14 oz firm tofu, frozen and then defrosted (Freezing changes texture to a more meaty substance that soaks up flavor. Freeze in plastic wrap, thaw and pat dry with paper towel to remove excess water.)
1/2 tsp dried rosemary, crumbled
2 small tomatoes, finely chopped
1/3 cup ground walnuts
2 tsp mellow miso, or more for stronger flavor (available at health food stores)
1/2 tsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp tomato paste
12 large, fresh cremini or white mushrooms, wiped clean, stems removed
1/4 cup chopped green onions

Recipe



Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large skillet, sauté onion and garlic in 2 tbsp oil, with a pinch of salt, until tender. Crumble tofu over onion and sauté another 5 minutes. Add rosemary and tomatoes and cook on low heat about 10 minutes or until mixture is fairly dry. Add walnuts, miso, vinegar, tomato paste, and salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle remaining 2 tbsp oil over mixture. Place mushrooms in a baking dish and fill each with about 1 tbsp stuffing, using a spoon and pressing firmly to pack. Bake 20 minutes. Remove and top each hors d'oeuvre with a sprinkle of green onion. Serve warm.
