Tropical Mushrooms
serves 2 ~ $3.70

2 portabello mushrooms, sliced ($4.00)
1 green pepper, thinly sliced ($.50)
2 medium onions, thinly sliced ($.20)
1 cup pineapple, sliced or chopped ($1.50)
4 tablespoons agave ($.40)
4 tablespoons olive oil ($.40)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar ($.40)
2 cloves garlic, pressed
salt and pepper

This is one of those dishes that no one would guess is raw. It's definitely hearty and filling.

Slice the portabellos, green pepper, and onions. Also slice the pineapple. I sliced mine into fairly large rectangles, bit smaller chunks would work, too.

Put these in a lidded container. Whisk together the remaining ingredients and pour over the sliced mushroom and veggie mix. This step can be done in the morning {or even the night before} and left to marinate. Just toss it into the dehydrator about an hour before you want to eat.

Pour out onto a lined dehydrator tray and dehydrate for about an hour, until warm and slightly softened. Serve with red cabbage sauerkraut, if desired {recipe coming soon at Raw on 10}.
