Pictured:
- Potatoes O’Brien topped with plant based Sour cream and homemade Garlic Chili oil
- Tofu Scramble seasoned with dried mushroom powder, turmeric, paprika, black pepper, salt, ground red peppercorn
- Seared and Pressed Lion’s Mane stop alfalfa sprouts over Hummus, Butt’r, Sourdough English Muffin. Topped with seared grape tomatoes, faux (plant based) feta cheese and more of that homemade garlic chili oil.
Next time I make this I plan to marinate the Lions Mane first, it tastes a little too… Wet Basement flavored against the earthiness of the alfalfa sprouts
Yes I know plant based isn’t the same as vegan, it’s what I had available at the grocer (couldn’t make the growers market this week), please don’t @ me, in general I do my best to ensure the food I eat is ethically sourced.
looks great!
This looks amazing. Any tips on the homemade garlic oil? I can usually get cheap garlic from markets at this time of year and that sounds like a tasty project.
I slow roasted 4 heads of garlic at 250 for 2 hours, squeezed it through a funnel into a glass bottle, added about 3 tbsp of Gochugaru flakes, then heated enough sesame oil to fill it 80% of the way to 350 (verifying temp with a thermometer) and just poured the oil over it. Super simple stuff, just a bit tedious.
Be very careful if you attempt this, when you add the heated oil it will flash boil any water than remains in the pepper flakes and garlic and can boilover
Edit: oh, uhh, those are murica units btw, not normal units.
Also, @the mods to this comm, should I have marked this post NSFW since it’s technically not vegan (it’s plant based)?
I think the NSFW is for foods containing animal products. I might have misread your post, but it doesn’t sound like it has any.
Plant based doesn’t necessarily mean vegan, one is a descriptor of ingredients, one is a descriptor of ethics and ingredients.
Edit: I suppose it’s also possible I’m wildly misinterpreting the existence of both a Vegan label on foods and a Plant Based label on foods.
That looks delightful.
Looks great! I can see all the effort you put into it!
That muffin stack looks fire, what are you thinking about using to marinade the mushrooms next time? My first thought is something smokey but that’s a pretty common first thought for me.
