Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F.
2.In a small bowl, mix together the apricot jam and Dijon mustard. Set aside.
3.In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of canola oil. When hot, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until slightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
4.In a food processor, pulse the cashews until coarsely ground. Add the sautéed mushrooms, scallions, shredded carrot, garlic, ginger, and soy sauce. Pulse until roughly blended.

6.Place the wontons on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons of canola oil. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
7.Serve the wontons with the apricot-mustard sauce for dipping.
