Marinated Mushroom Recipe

I love mushrooms… But I thought I didn’t love raw mushrooms. I wouldn’t even add them to salads raw. The texture and the taste didn’t do anything for me. Since I have been trying to incorporate more raw foods into my diet I thought I would give raw mushrooms a try. Hence our marinated mushroom recipe.

I knew eating them plain wasn’t going to do it for me. Marinating them was my best option. I found a few recipes and pulled them together to make them my own happy healthy raw mushrooms. The marinated mushroom recipe below can be made your own too if you have favorite spices you like to add.

We like to use button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms. These are the best ones to eat raw and the most common ones that you find in your local markets.

These are on the Italian spicy side, simple spice changes can make them Oriental, Thia, Mexican.. well you know what you like. You can add some spices from your own herb garden like cayenne pepper, thyme, basil, oregano and garlic.

This is so simple you will think,” that’s it? ” Just don’t leave out the 30 minute salt toss it’s a step that really makes them robust and fulfilling.

Raw Food Recipe for Tortillas

This raw food recipe for tortillas is one of our first recipes to attempt. We are just beginning our education about a raw foods diet. The dehydrator that we got for the holidays is going to come in handy for this new exploration of ours. We are excited about sharing our new discoveries and love to hear about yours.

We are making green tortillas from this raw food recipe that we found from the Raw Food Diet Inspiration site. We created these raw tortillas from scratch. They are great for making raw vegan quesadillas, a simple veggie wrap or for rolling up enchiladas or burritos.

This is a great recipe that is fairly quick and easy. Just blend everything together and pour them onto teflex dehydrator sheets or baking quality parchment paper. Don’t make them too thick and you should have some yummy tortillas within a day.
