method

  1. *To soak cashews, place in a bowl and cover with water by an inch for 2 hours. Drain and rinse.
  2. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Spread the kale onto a baking tray and drizzle with the oil. Scrunch it with your hands to distribute the oil evenly. Season with salt and pepper.  Cook for 10-15 mins.
  3. Place soaked cashews and beans into a food processor or blender with the water. Puree until very smooth. Thin out with more water if required. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Separate the parsley stalks and finely chop. Put the leaves to one side.
  5. In a frying pan, heat the olive oil and fry the diced shallot until softened. Add the garlic and parsley stalks then cook together for 1 minute, followed by the mushrooms. Cook for 3-5 mins more until the mushrooms are soft. Add the cashew and bean sauce, heat through.
  6. Serve the mushroom mix on toasted sourdough, with the parsley leaves and topped with crispy kale.
