Look no further for a kosher-for-Passover main course for your vegan guests. Serve family style or, if you wish, fan the Roasted Asparagus over the portobello mushroom and top with a dollop of Parsley Pesto.

Pinch sea salt and ground black pepper
..............................................................................
MATZAH CRUST:

Olive oil or melted vegan butter for drizzling
Directions
Yield: 4 servings
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Prepare the portobello mushrooms. Place the mushrooms gill side up and ¼ cup water in a small baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice and top with the salt and pepper. Place in the oven for 10 minutes. Flip mushrooms and bake for another 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and flip again so the gills are facing up.
- Meanwhile, place all of the almond butter spread ingredients in a small bowl and whisk well. Add more water if necessary to reach a thick, yet smooth and spreadable consistency.
- Place all of the matzah crust ingredients in a shallow bowl and mix well.
- Spread the almond butter mixture inside of the mushrooms. Place the mushrooms in the bowl with the matzah crust and cover the top of the mushroom completely with a coating of the crust. [Note: It is ok if the crust does not stick to to the bottom of the mushroom.] Drizzle olive oil or melted vegan butter over the top to help the crust brown.
- Return the mushrooms to the baking dish, gill side up, and bake for 20 minutes. Serve warm.
How to Reheat for Another Meal
- Heat oil in a sauté pan over medium high heat.
- Add the mushrooms top up. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Carefully flip and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
