INSTRUCTIONS
Serves 4-8.
Defrost the tofus, squeeze dry, and crumble. Saute the onion and garlic in
the olive oil until tender. Add the finely crumbled tofu and saute another
five minutes. Add the chopped tomato and rosemary, and continue cooking for
ten minutes,until the mixture is fairly dry. Add the ground nuts, miso,
tomato paste, salt and pepper to taste, and an additional few drops of live
oil if the mixture seems too dry.
Cut of the stems from the mushrooms and mound the mixture into them the
caps with a spoon, pressing firmly with the inside of the spoon to form a
smooth mound. Bake at 350F for 15 - 20 minutes until browned. Place on a
shiso leaf and serve either hot or at room temperature.

NOTES : Here is something to serve the skeptical non-vegetarian guest. The
frozen tofu takes on the texture of meat and the ground nuts add richness.
These can made a day or two in advance, and baked before serving time, or
baked several hours in advance and re-heated or served at room temperature.
If you can get shiso leaves from a Japanese grocery store, place them under
the mushrooms, as they not only look pretty, but can be eaten - a delicious
experience.
