Avocado Stuffed Mushrooms

I was searching the internet for some interesting ways to use avocado and I came across a recipe for stuffed mushroom. I tweaked it A LOT and here is what I got:

You'll need:
Crimini Mushrooms
Avocado
Chinese Spicy Mustard
Ginger Pear Dressing (or any similar dressing of your choice...just nothing dairy based)
Extra Firm Organic Tofu
Spinach
Sweet Potato
Red Pepper
Onion


First I took the stems out of the mushrooms and marinated them in the Ginger Pear Dressing.




Next I chopped, mashed and whipped the avocado with Chinese Spicy Mustard 

After the avocado was nice a creamy I stuffed the mushrooms with it :)

Next came the tofu. I cut the tofu into thin rectangular strips and sauteed them in soy sauce and the Ginger Pear dressing until golden brown.

As I sauteed the tofu I put the mushrooms on a baking sheet and placed them in the oven (after adding a bit of cracked pepper to the tops). I baked them on 350 for about 20 minutes. During this time I also sliced the sweet potato into fry like slices and baked them.

After the mushrooms and sweet potatoes were done I made a small salad with spinach, red pepper and mushrooms. I placed the mushrooms and tofu on the salad, added some Ginger Pear Dressing and had the fries as a side.


It was great! The avocado puree had a small spice to it from the mustard and the mushrooms and salad were sweet from the dressing. Yum!
