BBQ Pulled Mushrooms: A Veggie Delight
Are you craving a hearty sandwich that satisfies your BBQ cravings but keeps things plant-based? My BBQ Pulled Mushrooms recipe is just the ticket. Using oyster mushrooms for their meaty texture, this dish is not just delicious—it’s also a breeze to prepare! Whether you’re a vegetarian or just trying to include more plant-based meals in your diet, this recipe is a perfect choice.
Ingredients
For the mushrooms:
- 1 lb (450g) oyster mushrooms, shredded 🍄
- 2 tbsp olive oil 🫒
- 1 onion, finely chopped 🧅
- 2 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
- 1 cup BBQ sauce 🍖
- 1 tbsp soy sauce 🥢
- 1 tsp smoked paprika 🌶️
- Salt and pepper to taste 🧂
For serving:
- 6 burger buns 🍔
- Coleslaw (optional) 🥗
- Pickles (optional) 🥒
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure it’s ready for the mushrooms once they’re sauced up.
- Cook the Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they are soft and fragrant, which takes about 5 minutes.
- Brown the Mushrooms: Add the shredded oyster mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 10 minutes. They should release their moisture and start to brown—this is key for that pulled texture.
- Sauce it Up: Stir in the BBQ sauce, soy sauce, and smoked paprika, ensuring the mushrooms are evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake: Transfer the skillet to your preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. This step helps the flavors meld together and the sauce to thicken, enveloping the mushrooms in smoky, tangy goodness.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the mushrooms cool slightly—this makes them easier to handle. Serve the pulled mushrooms on burger buns, topped with coleslaw and pickles if you like.
