I probably spend way too much time putting the word VEGAN into Google and getting a bit click happy with the SUBSCRIBE button on vegan blogs and websites but...I guess I'm AM being true to my title...A vegan OBSESSION..
As I post more and more I am finding my way around the Blogging world and ticking off the 'to do' list for my own blog. For me, blogging is an organic experience. I think the time is right to start expanding my content. I am very excited about this (and still a little clueless!).
So...today I kick off my recipe page. VEGANS are a creative bunch and my inbox is bombarded daily. So now going to share the best ones with you.
Chow Vegan has been busy and inventive lately and this is their latest offering. Can't you almost taste it?!
Oyster Mushroom Po’ Boy
Makes one sandwich
Baked Oyster Mushrooms
4 ounces oyster mushrooms, cleaned and separated (slice the bigger mushrooms)
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly squeezed juice from 1/2 small lemon
Pinch of sea salt
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon ground flax meal
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon smoked sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Combine the olive oil, lemon juice and a generous pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Add the mushrooms and toss, leave to marinate for about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix together the water and flax meal in a small bowl and let stand for a few minutes until the mixture becomes slimy and somewhat sticky. In a separate plate or pan, combine the breadcrumbs, spices and salt to taste.
Dip a mushroom piece into the flax seed wash and then into the breadcrumbs, covering well. Place on the baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake for 10 minutes, flip over the mushrooms and bake another 5 minutes on the other side until crispy.
Sandwich Assembly
1 garlic clove
Vegan mayonnaise
1 soft-crusted loaf of bread
Shredded romaine lettuce
To make the aioli, mince and mash the garlic to a paste. Mix in the mayonnaise.
Slice the bread along one side, leaving the other side hinged. Spread the aioli on each side. Pile the lettuce on the bottom and top with the mushrooms. Serve immediately.
