It could be the heat, or perhaps I’m having a blonde moment. Maybe I’m just dizzy with summer excitement, but I’m attempting to recreate, fresh-style, a dish that is quite possibly the opposite of raw vegan uncookery.

I’m talking about Barbeque! It’s so crazy it just might work… or is it just a delicious recipe and a great excuse for some bizarre factoids and possibly dismally inaccurate history?

Pineapple Portabella BBQ!
Serves 2-4

Pineapple BBQ sauce:

1C pineapple plus 1/2C chopped for garnish
1C fresh tomato
2T sun-dried tomatoes
2T dates, soaked
1t chipotle pepper, soaked if using whole dried pepper
1t fresh ginger
1t garlic
1T apple cider vinegar
1T mustard
1t nama shoyu or soy sauce
Smoked salt and fresh pepper to taste

Spice rub:
2T paprika
1T chile powder
Pinch of ground clove
Fresh pepper and dash of smoked salt, if desired
2 large Portabella mushroom caps

Blend all sauce ingredients until smooth, adding water as necessary to thin. Cut the mushroom caps into strips, and marinate in the sauce for 2.5-3hours. Remove mushrooms from sauce, reserving the sauce for presentation, then press one side of each strip into the spice rub. Serve mushrooms garnished with sauce and the additional pineapple, sprinkled with remaining spice.

Feel the heat!
