Tamari almond sauce + savory mushrooms
Mar 28, 2020
I make this mushroom recipe all the time, especially when I have people over for dinner and it's always a favorite. The ingredients may sound a little strange, but the result is a savory, slightly tangy dish. I also included a recipe for a tahini/almond sauce that is a more recent creation. In the past I paired it with spring rolls or salad, but I had a leftover zucchini laying around the other day and it was fantastic on top. Enjoy!

*You can easily sub coconut aminos in this recipe! I prefer tamari because it’s less sweet
Tamari Almond Sauce
1 tbsp organic almond butter*
1 tbsp avocado oil
1 tbsp tamari
2 tsp rice wine vinegar
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
¼ tsp garlic granules
โ tsp onion powder
dash of red pepper
dash of black pepper
*Depending on how smooth your almond butter is, you may want to slightly heat it before you mix with the other ingredients. Mix all ingredients together, voila! I use this as a dip for homemade spring rolls, salad, on top of veggies, etc.
Below is an extremely easy/quick zucchini recipe! The almond/tamari sauce is fantastic drizzled on top:
1 zucchini, chopped

Himalayan salt and back pepper

-Add chopped zucchini, saute for ~4 mins, then add garlic, tamari, salt and pepper
-Saute for approximately 3 more minutes, and remove from heat when zucchini are cooked, yet still crisp
