  • 1 lb of portabella mushrooms (farmers market) $5
  • Spices already had
  • Bunch of spinach (farmers market) $2
  • Pack of Roasted Pumpkin seeds – $1.29
  • Tomatillo -
  • Lime >$1
  • Poblano pepper >$1
  • Raisins already had

TOTAL (approx) $9 for about 2 servingsStart with the portabella mushrooms. Spread some olive oil on the portabella caps and then sprinkle them with jerk seasoning. ( I used the jerk seasoning recipe in the book ” “) Broil until a crust forms on the caps and they are cooked through.

I used the green apple salsa recipe from the same book but substituted poblano peppers for jalepenos and added tomatillos which added more tartness.

For the spinach I changed a recipe similar to this one but used roasted pumpkin seeds instead of pine nuts since I didn’t have any pine nuts at hand.

Finally I took a couple of pieces of a loaf of hearty garlic bread and cut them into cubes and fried them in canola oil, sprinling a little salt on them when they were done.
