Mediterranean stuffed field mushrooms with a cashew dill cheese sauce on a bed of creamy cauliflower mash and side of fresh rocket and pear salad.
1. Set oven to 200ºC.
Bring a large saucepan of water to boil. Cut cauliflower into small florets and add to simmering water. Cook for 8-10 minutes until tender. Drain and return to pan. Puree with a stick mixer until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Chop spring onions and 1/2 the sun-dried tomatoes. Crush garlic. Rinse brown rice with water to loosen. Toss all together in a bowl.
3. Remove stems from mushrooms. Coat mushroom caps with 1 tbsp oil, salt and pepper. Place on a lined oven tray and fill with stuffing. Roast in oven for 15 minutes until mushrooms are tender.
4. Slice cucumber, pear and celery. Chop remaining sun-dried tomatoes. Toss together with rocket leaves. Whisk together 1/2 tbsp balsamic vinegar with 1 tbsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
5. Add cashew cheese and 1/2 cup water to a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk until smooth and heated through.
6. Toss dressing through salad. Divide among plates with cauliflower mash and stuffed mushrooms. Spoon over cashew sauce.
