FUN FACT: Cremini and white mushrooms are actually the same mushroom!  They are differentiated by age.  White mushrooms –>Cremini (baby bella) –> Portobello.

Mushrooms are high in dietary fiber, both insoluble cellulose in the outer skin and pectins in the flesh. They have traces of protein and small amounts of the B vitamin folate.  One-half cup cooked fresh mushrooms has 2 g dietary fiber, 2 g protein, and 14 mcg folate (4 percent of the RDA).

Mushrooms are a fungus and they have very powerful medicinal qualities; they are antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory plus they help boost and support the immunity.

DIRECTIONS

3. Add mushrooms to the pan, and cook until they have released their liquid and the pan has dried up on the bottom, 6-8 minutes. Add kale, and cook for 1 more minute. Add tamari, and toss to combine. Remove from heat and set mixture aside to cool.
4. To a large bowl, add chickpeas and lentils, and begin to mash. Do not mash completely to keep some texture in your filling.
5. Add the cooled mixture, almonds, raisins, oat flour, spices, and half of your parsley. Toss to combine so that the flour has been completely incorporated. Add more oat flour if needed. Season with salt and pepper if necessary.
6. Place mixture in your baking tray, patting down to ensure there are no air pockets. Repeat the process in a second tray if needed. Place trays in the oven, and bake for 20-25 minutes.
7. Remove your baking tray from the oven, and garnish with parsley. Enjoy!
