For the Marinated Mushrooms:
one cup of shiitake mushrooms, chopped
2 TBS lemon juice
2 tsp sea salt
2 tsp balsamic vinegar

Toss everything together in a bowl and set aside to marinate.

For the Sauce:
1/4 cup shiitake mushrooms
2 TBS almond butter
1/2 clove garlic
1 tsp dehydrated onion flakes
1 tsp herbs de province
1/4 tsp each of sea salt and pepper
pinch of nutmeng
1 tsp of an infused olive oil (I used porcini infused, or you could use an herb infused or even plain.)
1/2 cup water

Blend everything together - I used my magic bullet!

For the Shiitake topping:
Squeeze marinate from chopped shiitake and discard liquid. Add the following to the chopped shiitake:
1/4 cup minced red bell pepper
1 TBS finely chopped olives of choice

Pour just enough sauce to lightly cover the mixture and stir to cover.

Split a avocado in half and fill the center cavity with the shiitake mixture or make some pretty avocado slices and top with shiitake mixture. Drizzle a little extra sauce on top as well. There will be some extra sauce left over. You can use it as a dip, salad dressing or just drink it down. It’s really that good.

Comment by BarefootArtist Rhonda Lee on September 19, 2012 at 10:57am: Thank you so much for sharing this Penni! I was away at a retreat and came back for this little surprize! I actually made this dish for my retreat participants and it was the favorite of the all the recipes. They even loved it better than raw chocolate. Most everyone there was a complete newbie when it comes to raw foods, so I think this is going to be a really easy and delish transition dish. We even had non retreat participants find out about it and want to try it. I LOVE to share this with newcomers! Thank you so very much! xoxoxo

Comment by Barbara (Rawfully Tempting) on September 18, 2012 at 10:05am: Looks fabulous!

Comment by Penni on September 17, 2012 at 11:54am: So awesome!! I do think this recipe would be an ideal way to introduce mushrooms to someone who isn't really into them! We've also got a couple of raw chili recipes coming up this month that are amazing - be sure to watch for those too!

Comment by InTheRawWithTiffany on September 17, 2012 at 11:18am: O.M.G!!!!! This looks SO good! I just shared this with a friend, and even though she doesn't like mushrooms, she says this looks amazing and she would be interested in trying this. Yum.
