¼ teaspoon Celtic salt
Marinate the mushrooms in the nama shoyu and olive oil for 10 to 20 minutes.
Mix the walnuts and pine nuts together, and add the remaining croquette ingredients by hand, including the mushrooms.
Form the mixture into half-dollar-size burgers and dehydrate for 5 to 7 hours at 110°F.
To make the bell pepper purée, blend the chopped bell peppers, olive oil, ginger, cumin, and sea salt in a high-speed blender until smooth.
To serve, pour a small amount of red and yellow bell pepper purée on each side of the plate so that they meet in the middle. Place 2 to 3 croquettes in the middle of the purée, and top with microgreens or sweet pea shoots.
