Grilled Mushrooms

Cauliflower Purée

Herbed Farro

Pumpkin Seed Pesto

Method

Grilled Mushrooms

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and balsamic vinegar.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Mushrooms

    Place the Portobello mushrooms in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Grill the Mushrooms

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated mushrooms for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they are tender and have grill marks.

Cauliflower Purée

  1. 4

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower and cut it into florets.

  2. 5

    Cook the Cauliflower

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook until tender, about 10-12 minutes.

  3. 6

    Make the Purée

    Drain the cauliflower and return it to the pot. Add heavy cream, butter, salt, and white pepper. Blend using an immersion blender until smooth and creamy.

Herbed Farro

  1. 7

    Cook the Farro

    In a medium saucepan, combine farro and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 25-30 minutes or until farro is tender and liquid is absorbed.

  2. 8

    Add Herbs

    Once cooked, remove from heat and stir in fresh parsley, thyme, and salt. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Pumpkin Seed Pesto

  1. 9

    Prepare the Pesto

    In a food processor, combine pumpkin seeds, fresh basil leaves, minced garlic, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and salt.

  2. 10

    Blend the Pesto

    Pulse until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
