What are the two ways to enjoy these Veggies and Mushrooms Mini Bites?

You can eat them as they are after blending and arranging, or bake them again for 10 minutes with the upper coils on for a crispier texture.

How do I prepare the marinated portobello mushrooms for this recipe?

Cut the mushrooms, put them in a jar with salt, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar, then close and refrigerate for one to two days.

How is the creamy sauce made for these mini bites?

The sauce is made by blending the remaining marinated portobello mushrooms with enough spring water to cover them until a creamy texture is achieved.

Can I prepare the Veggies and Mushrooms Mini Bites ahead of time?

Yes, the portobello mushrooms need to marinate for a day or two, and the blended bites can be formed and then baked just before serving, or enjoyed immediately after forming.

What if I don't have a food processor to blend the ingredients?

While a food processor with an S knife is recommended for a smooth blend, you could try finely mashing the baked vegetables and then mincing the other ingredients very finely, though the texture may differ.

I decided to trust my palate and cooked these mini bites combining most of my favorite vegetables – broccoli, cauliflower, aubergines, carrots, garlic, red peppers, and baby spinach. A feast for all the senses with the added portobello mushrooms, cashews, ginger, and powdered nutmeg.

How to Prepare Veggies and Mushrooms Mini Bites [Vegan]

Peel and cut into small bites the aubergine, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower and the red peppers, add some salt and olive oil and bake for 40 minutes.
Peel the peppers and pour the baked veggies in the food processor. Blend using the S knife.
Add the baby spinach, cashews, garlic, 1/3 of the mushrooms, the spices, the rest of the olive oil and blend until nice and smooth.
Make small bites or balls using your hands and arrange on a baking paper. Here you have 2 options – to eat them as the are now, baked, blended and arranged (see the image below) or bake them again for 10 more minutes with the upper coils on for a crispier look (see the image under the sauce instructions). I liked them both ways.
