Vegan Basil Hummus Stuffed Mushrooms

I love stuffing things with stuff.

Stuffing your face with hummus is one thing and stuffing a shroom with dream pesto is another.

I can say with confidence that I eat a fourth to a third of a tub of hummus a day. Hashtag Hummusapien. And I’m not wishy washy about it, either. I know what I like. I don’t want to have to stand there and think about what kind I’m getting. I want to grab my unsweetened vanilla almond milk, brown rice cakes, frozen wild blueberries and hummus and be OUTTA THERE.

Essentials, people. FOCUS.

I’ve been in a serious relationship with Oasis Mediterranean Cuisine’s roasted garlic hummus for about two years now. I was in love with it before I knew it was made in OH-IO. Before I knew it was a small company run by a handful of good hummus souls. Before I knew that they were the only hummus company making their own tahini. <<< how cool is that?!

I fell in love with it first because…flavor. It’s creamy and addicting and perfect. Then I fell even deeper in love upon learning that it’s made with organic chickpeas and tahini and free of oil, preservatives, and artificial anything. It has 30 calories and 1 gram of fat per two tablespoon serving (and who doesn’t eat three times that amount?!) rather than the 80 calories and 6 grams of fat you’ll find in most popular brands. When you eat half a container at a time, the nutritional profile is quite a relief.

It has flavor and nutrition you can trust, and I love that. While Oasis makes 22 yummy flavors, I’m a sucker for the roasted garlic. Remember when I used it in my beloved Baked Spaghetti with Tofu Ricotta? My go-to hummus vehicle is a brown rice cake or my finger, but I was excited to use it in stuffed shrooms because who doesn’t love a good holiday app this time of year?

I’m just the Jewish vegan bringing bright green stuffed mushrooms to the Christmas party…nobigdeal.

What is a big deal is this pan of shrooms. They taste like pesto shroomy dreamland that I want to vacation to when I get some time off work. I sprinkled them with this vegan parmesan made with cashews, which is also sensational on vegan pizza might I add.

PS—I’ll be whipping these up tomorrow morning at 9:45am on Good Day Columbus, so be sure to tune in!!

When you’re up to your ears in crinkle cookies and candy canes, I have a plate of magnificent mushrooms for you. You could even hang one from the ceiling and pretend it’s mistletoe.

Too far?

Ya, I didn’t think so either. Happy Christmahanakwanzika!
