Mushroom Bruschetta

>> Monday, April 19, 2010

First I wanna say "welcome!" to the batch of new followers. I seriously appreciate you all so much. As you can see, I've been updating the site a bit to make it a little more user-friendly. Hope you like it!

Level of Difficulty: As usual :)
Pots/Pans Used: one

Ingredients

2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pkg baby bella mushrooms (or your favorite vairety), sliced
2-3 TBL Earth Balance
1/2 onion, chopped
crusty bread slices of your choice
balsamic vinaigrette
olive oil
basil

So this recipe arrived onto my menu when I got home from the grocery store and realized I had bought everything to make bruschetta but forgot the tomato. So.... I improvised. Now, tomato bruschetta is delicious, but this one is just as good if not better. It's definitely hardier and any mushroom lover will be able to appreciate it. Please, tell me how it works out for you.

Okay...
Slice your bread and put it in the oven at 350 for about 10-15 minutes so that it can get nice and crisp. Heat some olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. First toss in the onion and garlic. Let the onion get translucent and then add the mushrooms. Once the mushrooms are nicely seared, add the Earth Balance. Let it melt and coat the mushrooms and onions. Then, add as much dried or fresh basil as you want (I used dried because I didn't have fresh. However, fresh would be ideal for this recipe). Spoon the mushroom mixture on top of the slices of bread. Drizzle some balsamic vinaigrette on top. That's it!

It was well worth the wait. I started craving this from your pic. We made it with Ezekiel sprouted sourdough loaf. David kept thanking me for making our first Earth Day weekend special. I reminded him it was your recipe. He'll be traipsing on over to use your recipes now.

You so rock. How's that cookbook coming along? What publishing company are you signing with? :D

Hey, I just started reading your blog, and tried your strawberry spinach salad and this last night, except I sliced up and used grape tomatoes instead of mushrooms because I didn't have any on hand and my non-vegan hubs was so impressed and loved it. I've made Bruschetta before but I'm going to keep this recipe on hand! Thanks!

I check this blog every day. I have tried almost everything. I needed something special for a birthday and found your recipe for bread pudding. Food induced coma was correct. It was so yummy. These recipes have made Veganism a pleasure Thanks
