Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Measure out the cashews and soak them in warm water for at least 15 minutes to soften.
- Finely chop the onion.
- Clean and slice the mushrooms.
- Drain the soaked cashews and pulse in a food processor until they reach a coarse, breadcrumb-like consistency. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until they become translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 8-10 minutes.
- Season with a dash of salt and black pepper.
- Cook for another 2 minutes, ensuring the mushrooms and onions are well combined and nicely browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
- While the mushrooms are cooking, arrange the whole-wheat bread slices on a baking sheet.
- Brush each slice with the remaining 0.50 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Toast the bread slices in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until they become golden and crispy.
- Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven.
- Evenly distribute the sautéed mushroom-onion mixture over each slice of toasted bread.
- Sprinkle the ground cashews over the top of each toast for added texture and flavor.
- Serve immediately, garnished with an extra drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Tips:
- Soak the cashews in water for a few hours or overnight to make them easier to blend and to enhance their creamy texture.
- Use a variety of mushrooms such as cremini, shiitake, or oyster to add depth of flavor.
- Toast the whole-wheat bread to your desired level of crispiness to ensure a perfect contrast with the creamy mushroom-cashew mixture.
- Feel free to add fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for an extra burst of flavor.
- If you prefer a bit of spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the mushroom mixture.
With these simple steps and helpful tips, you can create a delightful Vegan Mushroom-Cashew Toast that is both flavorful and wholesome. The combination of sautéed onions, tender mushrooms, and creamy cashew spread on crispy whole-wheat bread makes for an exceptional dish.
