Makes 60 mushroomsThese are absolutely delicious. The stuffing is a rich tapenade – easy to make. The hardest part is waiting for them to dehydrate! This is based on a recipe in RAWVolution (I like more olives and garlic and love the chive/cilantro spice mix).
Ingredients:
60 shiitake mushrooms, stems removed
2½ cup italian olives, chopped
1 cup raw pine nuts, ground in a food
processor
½ cup chives, minced
½ cup cilantro, minced
7 clove garlic, minced
¼ cup stone-ground mustard
Preparation:
- Mix all ingredients (except mushrooms).
- Put a small spoonful of mix on the underside of each mushroom cap (should completely fill the cap).
- Dehydrate at 100°F for 12 – 18 hours (I dehydrate closer to 12 than 18).
- Cilantro and various olives make a nice garnish for this recipe.
These can be put in the dehydrator the night before you want to eat them. Just store them in a glass container for the rest of the day.

These look AMAZING. Excited to try them!!
2. Looks absolutely delish,
Looks absolutely delish, perfect for parties, wish they could materialise off the computer screen lol. Just a thought, how would these turn out non-dehydrated? Iguess that drying them intensifies the flavours though.
3.
Can you make these with something other than shiitake- button for example. Or does the shittake have a more complex flavor?

lauraj: I'm not completely positive about fresh days, but I've kept mine in the refrigerator for up to 5 days with fine results. Whenever I wonder about times for raw foods, I am reminded that Matt Amsden's "raw food box delivery":http://rawvolution.com/?q=rawvolution_food_related_questions#1 mentions food being fresh for a week.
5.
How many days do these keep fresh and should I store them in the fridge before or after I dehydrate them or keep them room temp/
6.
I've had these at one of their parties and they're to die for. I actually had to leave the room to stop eating them.
7.
I've made these a few times now and found that they seem best when dehydrated closer to 12 rather than 18 hours.

I *adore* these. So good for parties.
