Pesto Stuffed Mushrooms

ingredients
- 24 mushroom caps, stems set aside to use in the stuffing mixture
- 1⁄2 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 cup cashews, raw and unsalted
- 4 cups spinach
- 10 leaves basil
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place all ingredients EXCEPT the mushroom caps into a food processor. Pulse until the pesto is combined, but still a bit chunky.
- Place a teaspoon or two of mixture into each mushroom cap. Bake for 15 minutes. I bake them on a rack in a baking pan because there is a surprising amount of liquid in a mushroom. I find they sort of stew if you bake them flat on a baking sheet.
- Either serve immediately or allow to cool to room temperature - they are delicious either way.

Although I am a US citizen, I have spent most of my adult life living outside of the States. I've raised my family all over the world - and I have to say that my four kids are pretty terrific!
I am always looking for recipes that only call for basic ingredients. Because I don't live in the US, I often can't find packages or this, or jars and cans of that, even certain spices can be tricky.
My favorite cookbooks are the New Joy of Cooking, and anything by Nigela Lawson.
My passions are cooking and eating - big surprise there.
I have no pet peeves, I don't keep any peeves around long enough to make them into pets.
I especially love baking, but I'm trying to get away from that - the carbs are starting to stick to my hips a little too easily.
I took a Sushi making course recently. It was a lot of fun; I now know that I need to GO OUT for Sushi, not make it myself.
