MIGHTY MUSHROOMS

The chewy texture and deep flavour of mushrooms make them a great stand-in for meat. Here are some ideas for vegan fun with fungi.

Infuse vegetable stock with dried porcini as a beef broth substitute in soups and stews.

Soak and finely chop dried shiitake mushrooms to replace ground meat in pasta sauce or sloppy joes.

Roast or grill whole portobello caps then slice and use like steak in tacos, sandwiches and burritos.
