Roasted Champignons with Pine Nut Crust
When it comes to champignons this is by far my favorite recipe, the acidity of the tomato in the stuffing creates a flavor so refreshing, it must be out of this world!
Serves 2
Preparation: 50 minutes
Cooking: 25 minutes
Tomato Stuffing
1 small tomato
30 g tomato paste
1 shallot
½ clove garlic
4 basil leaves
¼ t cane sugar
¼ sea salt
Deseed and chop the tomato into small cubes, chop shallots, garlic and basil leaves finely, then mix all ingredients in a handy bowl and set aside.
Corn Crust with Pine Nuts
5 g parsley
70 g margarine
1 T corn starch
½ t sea salt
40 g coarse cornmeal
20 g pine nuts
1 T chives
Toast the pine nuts slightly, chop parsley and chives, toss all ingredients in a small bowl and stir until the margarine is melted.
Mushrooms
250 g small champignons
sea salt
olive oil
freshly ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F.
Remove the stems of the shrooms, scrape the rest out with a small spoon to have enough place for the stuffing. Season the holes slightly with salt, then fill with the tomato stuffing.
Top with the corn crust.
Take a baking dish, fill it with half a centimeter of water and salt it slightly. Spread the shrooms evenly inside, you can cut a slight base if they fall over. Sprinkle with olive oil and grind black pepper over them.
Put in the oven for 25 minutes til the crust becomes slightly brown.
Salad
1 T raspberry vinegar
1 T freshly squeezed orange juice
½ T cane sugar
few drops vanilla extract
sea salt
freshly ground pepper
1 T olive oil
50 g mixed greens
40 g cherry tomatoes
Heat the cane sugar with ½ T of water and stir til it dissolves and you get a syrup, set aside to let it cool.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half, peel a orange and squeeze 1 T out of it. Mix everything in a bowl except the olive oil. Only after the salad is well coated add the olive oil to prevent wilting.
Serve
Put the salad on a plate and top with some mushrooms, you can be stingy but expect your guests craving for more and raiding your kitchen :)
Thank you @heart-to-heart for putting together a vegan commune on steemit.
Bon appétit and until next time,

Such a good looking dish! I love all Kind of mushrooms!!
Mushrooms are very diverse tastewise. And acidity goes very well with button mushrooms!
Your post has been featured in Issue #5 of the Make It Healthy Project MAGAZINE. Many thanks for your inspiring contribution!
What a colourful and delicious looking plate! Great presentation 😀
This looks great! I'm not familiar with corn crumbs. Can you help me determine what they are? I live in the US - Is it cornmeal? - Thanks for posting!
Yes it's coarse cornmeal, I got fooled and bought it in a vegan store sold as corn panko :) I will change the name in the recipe to make it more clear.
Thanks - I love the idea of the corn crust - off to the grocery store now for some mushrooms!!!! I've been a vegan for 4 months now, and the community on Steem is helping me with exciting new and delicious recipes!!!
Yes the community is great and the inventiveness is astonishing! I have the impression that there are a lot of recipes now which taste so professional and yet are really easy to prepare.
Made yesterday's recipe (with chickpea flower for coating) but will have to give today's a miss: my son is not partial to mushrooms. Then again, if I try and dress them up as nicely as you have .... You know what I'll just give it a go!
Nice work! I love mushrooms but button mushrooms taste boring on their own, I like them on pizza and as sauce though. But this recipe is something else, a flavourful symphony!
Absolutely love this recipe Miron!!! By the way, I sent you an email 🍒 🍌🍑🍍🍓🍇
These look incredible! I just said I wasn't hungry on my other post to you... but now I seem to be hungry again... I wish I had mushrooms in the fridge haha :)
Hehe, thats the dilemma, you think you are full, but there are always some unsatisfied tastebuds left :)

Wonderful recipes! Now, I am hungry! Your accompanying photos are very nice, too! Thanks for sharing this in VO.TU 😊
Glad you like it, I tried to capture as much of the flavor experience as possible, sadly, or thankfully, when it comes to taste and smell, technology is in its stone ages :)
What a good recipe! I love mushrooms, I think I would eat many of those without stopping.
I can asure you that you would, I almost did but decided to share at the end :)
It sure was not easy hehe
Nope, It was like, ok I pass on 10, then ok 8 is enough too, til only 6 or 7 were left :)
