Mushroom Tacos
Tacos for the win. Tuesday and everyday. Made most delicious with tamari glazed mushrooms combined with spiced black beans, pickled red cabbage and a smoky yoghurt sauce.
RecipesMakes 3-4 tacos.
Ingredients:
- 4 mini corn tortillas
- 1/2 packet of chestnut mushrooms, cut into quarters
- 1 tbsp tamari
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 yellow pepper, cut into slivers
- 1/4 red cabbage, sliced thin with a mandolin or shredded
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- Salt
- 1/2 can of black beans
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 2 heaped tbsp coconut yoghurt
- Juice 1/2 lime
- A small handful of coriander, roughly chopped
Method:
- Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Put the mushrooms in a baking dish and cover in the tamari and two cloves of garlic. Stir to coat and bake in an oven dish for 20-25 minutes until slightly crispy.
- Cook the peppers in a pan on high heat with a little oil. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until slightly charred and softened.
- Make the pickled red cabbage by squeezing the lemon juice over them, with a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of maple syrup. Leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 15 minutes. The longer, the better.
- Sauté a crushed clove of garlic in a little oil on low heat until golden. Add 1/2 tsp smoked paprika and the cumin and dry fry for a minute. Add the black beans alongside a spoon of their liquid and mix it in with the garlic and spices. Season well with salt and pepper.
- Make a yoghurty sauce by adding a crushed clove of garlic, the lime juice, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika and some salt and pepper to the coconut yoghurt. Whip together until smooth.
- Toast the tortillas in a pan for 1-2 minutes either side.
- Top the tortillas with a spoon of red cabbage, a spoon of black beans, a few mushrooms and peppers. Drizzle over a small spoon of the smoky yoghurt sauce and top with a few pieces of fresh coriander. Serve right away!
