Pesto and Toppings

Method

Preparation and Assembly

  1. 1

    Make the Pesto

    In a food processor, combine fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, nutritional yeast, and salt. Pulse until finely chopped.

  2. 2

    Add Olive Oil

    With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture is smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Roast the Mushrooms

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread sliced mushrooms on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and roast for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Blister the Tomatoes

    In a skillet over medium heat, add heirloom cherry tomatoes and cook until they start to blister, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    On a serving plate, layer mixed greens, top with roasted mushrooms, blistered tomatoes, and a generous amount of vegan pesto. Sprinkle vegan mozzarella on top.
