How about a plate of deliciously smoky and juicy pulled mushroom tacos this weekend? Pulled what!? Mushrooms! No, i am no longer pulling your leg (sorry, couldn't assist myself ), promise. they are a factor and they're blooming scrumptious! in case you’ve been following my blog for some time, you might have guessed that I’m a massive fan of young jackfruit, which i've used in many recipes to copy the texture of meat with high-quality fulfillment and that i can't accept as true with I’m about to mention this, however… flow over jackfruit, there may be a brand new child at the block!
I first found out approximately this trick of shredding King Oyster mushroom stems right into a meat-like texture from Derek Sarno’s video and i notion it became genius. I knew that they make convincing vegan scallops, however this changed into manner cooler and i needed to provide it a go. while i spotted the meaty mushrooms in an Asian shop in town i used to be over the moon – I recognise, I want to get out more
