Instructions
Mushroom, Bean and Pea Toast
- Lightly steam peas for about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and add remaining ingredients. Use a fork to stir and mash to desired consistency. For a smoother consistency use a food processor. Set aside while preparing mushrooms.
- To sauté mushrooms, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to coat and continue to stir occasionally. Allow mushrooms to make contact with the pan a bit in order to brown and develop the best flavor. Add garlic, beans, broth or water and thyme. Stir to combine. Add additional salt and pepper to taste. Continue to sauté, until most of liquid has cooked away and beans are warmed through.
- To serve spread desired amount of peas on toast. Spoon mushroom and bean mixture on top and sprinkle with vegan parmesan, if desired.
Caramel Apple Toast
- Prepare date caramel. See notes below for link to recipe. Set aside.
- Heat oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add apples, cinnamon, sugar and salt. Stir to coat. Continue stirring often until apples have softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add 1-2 tbsps water, if needed to prevent apples from sticking. Once apples have softened, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
- To serve, spread date caramel on toasted bread. Top with sautéed apples and add chopped nuts if desired.
