Brittanybullen's Thoughts

By brittanybullen

This recipe is based on one my friend Ali made. Hers was a non-raw version that tasted so good, I knew I could make it just as good raw-style. We got lucky on this one, just replacing a couple of ingredients and marinating the mushrooms instead of cooking them-- it's now one of our favorite things to eat! This was even a hit with our carnivorous family members-- a great crowd-pleaser! The peanut sauce is actually made with almond butter instead of peanuts because peanuts are not technically raw, but it tastes just like the real thing!

Actually you can get raw peanuts in the US, but you're not likely to find raw almonds anymore, unless you get them fresh from a local tree. So it would probably be easier to make raw peanut butter for this recipe.

But it's probably different in other parts of the world.

Sounds delish! I'll bet it would be good with sprouts in it too.
