Equipment

Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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!
