  • 12 – 14 white button mushrooms

Gently toss the caps in lemon juice a few times to marinate lightly, while preparing the stuffing. Place sunflower seeds, water, basil, garlic, 3 tsp. of lemon juice, salt, and a date into a food processor and process until smooth, using a spatula to score the sides of the bowl if necessary.
