Directions
Mushroom Cakes W/Avocado Pesto and Red Pepper Coulis, These vegetarian friendly cakes are served with an addictive nontraditional pesto that gets its creaminess, and lovely light green color from avocados; complete the meal with a salad of sliced tomatoes and onions and a nice bottle of ros This comes from Cuve World Bistro in Tucson, AZ There they make it with the wild mushrooms, as I posted but because of personal preference here at the home we have only gone as far the cremini’s! Need I say more? Oops, I almost forgot – this was in Bon Appetit, January 2010 , I saw this in Bon Appetit and thought it sounded interesting It is a lot of work and very mediocre, in my opinion It is simply missing something (or several somethings) The avocado pesto is interesting, but bland The red pepper coulis is just plain boring The mushroom cakes are good, but be sure to chill them so they will hold together before cooking I would absolutely not bother with this again Even for a veggie main, I was desperately disappointed I will use my leftovers in a frittata or something , These vegetarian friendly cakes are served with an addictive nontraditional pesto that gets its creaminess, and lovely light green color from avocados; complete the meal with a salad of sliced tomatoes and onions and a nice bottle of ros This comes from Cuve World Bistro in Tucson, AZ There they make it with the wild mushrooms, as I posted but because of personal preference here at the home we have only gone as far the cremini’s!
