  • Soak raw cashews overnight in enough water to cover them or for a few hours prior to using. For a quick soak cover with boiling water for 2 hours.

Drain and rinse the cashews and put them in the blender with ½ to 1 cup of water, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar and salt and blend until completely smooth. refrigerate until serving.
  • Clean the portobellos by scraping out gills and remove stems with a small spoon. Slice into 1/4 inch pieces. Thinly slice peppers and onions.
  • Mix all the marinade ingredients together.
  • Add cut mushrooms to one large flat baking dish and peppers/ onion to the other. Set the pepper/ onion mix in the fridge until later.
  • Toss the mushrooms well with about ¾ of the marinade. Set the remaining ¼ of the marinade aside for later. Leave the mushrooms marinating for at least half an hour (preferably longetossing every 30 minutes as able. Cover and refrigerate.
  • When you're ready to eat, toss the pepper mix with the remaining marinade. Preheat a large skillet and pour in contents of the bowl containing peppers/onions/ marinade. Saute over medium for about 10 minutes or until veggies are softened.
  • Meanwhile preheat a grill pan over med or high heat. Lay the marinated mushrooms on the pan and grill 3-5 minutes per side until they have nice char lines.
