Takes 20 minutes
Serves 2
Ingredients
- 2 flatbreads
- 200 g Oyster Mushroom
Seasoning
- 1 tbsp sumac
- 1/2 tsp tumeric
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp chilli powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 3 tbsp tamari
- 1.5 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp oil
- 10 cherry tomatoes
- 1/3 cucumber
- 15 g fresh coriander
Tahini Sauce
- 50 g Tahini
- 100 g natural yoghurt
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 juice lemon
- pinch salt
- pickled red onion
Instructions
- Tear open the mushrooms so that they can be spread out as wide as possible when compressed. Add them to a bowl along with the seasoning and mix well. Heat a wide bottomed non-stick frying pan on high heat and add 1 tbsp of oil. Once hot add in a single layer of the mushrooms ensuring there is enough room for them to spread out and fry for 1-2 mins, using a clean pan compress the mushrooms to maximise charring and to evaporate more moisture for a more fleshy texture, press down for 20 seconds. Turn and repeat on the other side until the mushrooms are charred, cooked through and smell magnificent. Remove from the pan onto a chopping board and roughly chop.
- Next finely dice the cucumber, coriander and the cherry tomatoes and mix together with a pinch of salt. Set aside.
- For the tahini cream, peel and finely dice the garlic clove and add to a bowl along with the tahini, yoghurt, lemon juice and pinch of salt and mix until it emulsifies into a thick cream. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
- To assemble, add a generous coating of the tahini cream, followed by the coriander, tomato, cucumber mix, followed by lots of mushroom “meat” and top with some pickled red onions. Enjoy!
