- 6 Mushroom caps cleaned, stemmed and de-gilled (optional)
- 1 medium sized sweet potato sliced into 1/2" thick medallions
- 1/2 cup baby arugula or a fist-full
- 1/2 cup vegan cream cheese
- 2 tbsp curry powder
- hot sauce to taste
- salt to taste
- freshly crushed black pepper to taste
Preheat a fry pan or cast iron skillet at medium heat.
Wash, pat dry and slice a medium sized sweet potato into medallions. Wash or wipe your portobello mushroom caps clean, scoop out the gills (optional) and and cut the stems flush with the base.
Drizzle the caps and medallions with olive oil and toss with black pepper (optional). Alternately, let soak in your favorite marinade.
Cook on the cast iron skillet until tender and browned, turning once, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and pat dry, if needed.
While the medallions and caps are cooking, mix 1/4 cup cream cheese with 2 tbsp of your curry powder of choice, 1 tsp lemon juice and a dash of salt (optional). Top the cooled caps with a dollop of curried cream cheese and a few sprigs of fresh baby arugula. I usually chop up a fist-full arugula and add as much as I can fit onto each mushroom cap.
Top each mushroom cap with a sweet potato medallion, fresh black pepper, salt to taste and serve!
