Cauliflower and Zucchini Stuffed Mushroom Caps (dairy or pareve)

Contributed by Eileen Goltz.

2 cups cauliflower florets
2 Tbs. vegetable oil
2 large zucchini, stemmed, quartered lengthwise and thinly sliced
4 large portobello mushroom caps (about 5 oz. each), stemmed and gills removed
Seasoning salt to taste
4 tablespoon fake (immitation) baken bits
4 oz. pareve cream cheese
2 tablespoons mayonnaise

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 425. Line large baking sheet with foil. Place cauliflower florets in large saucepan with water to cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, remove from heat and drain. Heat vegetable oil in large skillet over medium heat, and sauté zucchini for 5 to 7 minutes, or until slices begin to brown. Add cauliflower florets and sauté for 2 minutes. Spray tops and bottoms of mushroom caps with nonstick cooking spray, and sprinkle with seasoning salt to taste. Place on large baking sheet, underside up. Place vegetables in mixing bowl, and toss with soy “bacon” bits, fake cream cheese and mayonnaise. Mound on mushroom caps, dividing mixture evenly. Bake about 10 minutes, or until cheese begins to brown. Remove from oven, and serve. 

Special InstructionsInsect Infestation of Fresh Cauliflower:

Thrips may be found on the thin white branches or between the tightly packed cauliflower florets. These insects are easily discernible as their black color contrasts with the white vegetable. Small orange insects may at times be seen clinging to the outside of the cauliflower. These insects are easily washed off.

1. Separate and remove cauliflower florets from the stem
2. Examine several pieces of the cauliflower paying careful attention to the under part of the floret
3. Wash thoroughly before using.
4. Heads of cauliflower that are found to be infested are difficult to clean and should not be used
>Notes: Fresh Cauliflower tends to be insect infested. Please check "Special Instructions” below for information on insect inspection of caulifower. Frozen cauliflower should be carefully scanned for signs of infestation but requires no further checking unless insects are found.
