Portobello Mushrooms

Known for disease-fighting properties and impressive B vitamin content — particularly B3 (niacin) and B2 (riboflavin). Contain CLA (linked to cancer risk reduction) and ERGO (linked to reduced chronic inflammatory disease risk).

🥚
Firm Tofu

Provides the protein backbone of the filling — all essential amino acids. Combined with cashews, the resulting crumble is rich, satisfying and tastes like something genuinely indulgent.

🥜
Cashews

Create creaminess that binds the tofu and delivers healthy fats, zinc, magnesium and copper. Their mild flavour amplifies the nutritional yeast without competing with it.

🌱
Nutritional Yeast

Adds a savoury, cheesy depth while providing complete plant protein and B vitamins. The ingredient that makes the filling taste indulgent rather than virtuous.

Amanda's note

It's about time we made mushroom the hero of the dish. The tofu-cashew-nutritional yeast crumble is genuinely versatile — it also works on toast, in pasta or as a pizza topping. Make extra and keep it in the fridge for the week.
