Vegan Caramelized Mushroom and Tofu Puree
They offer a tasty way to incorporate vegan protein into your diet with a limitless set of flavor possibilities.
Watching the UK versions of Masterchef, I've seen them dot their plates with countless mushroom purees. It's about time I actually made one.
I really focused on umani here. Mushrooms, soy sauce, nutritional yeast all have lots of it.
The amazing thing you'll discover about tofu purees if you decide to try some is that when you eat them it feels like you're eating something rich and creamy and luxurious when in reality it's lean and nutritious. That's the magic of tofu!
1 pint button mushrooms
1/4 cup pinot grigio
2 tbls olive oil
1/2 package silken firm tofu
2 tbls sunflower seeds
3 cloves garlic
1 serrano
2 tbls nutritional yeast
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp cayenne
2 tsps soy sauce
2 tbls soy milk
2 tsps salt
Use a large cast iron skillet to caramelize the mushrooms. Start them in the skillet with 1 tsp salt and 1 tbl oil and cook down until nicely browned on both sides. Deglaze with wine. Cook down until pan is dry and mushrooms are dark.
You'll start out with a pan full of mushrooms. When you're done they will barely take up 1/4 of the pan.
Add everything to your food processor and puree until smooth.
