I am a recent convert to Sriracha sauce. Not unusual, since I tend to slowly get on the bandwagon with things. But I really love it. It adds a great kick to things, without being overpowering. My favorite so far is the Trader Joe’s brand of Sriracha sauce.
Even if you don’t like Sriracha sauce, I guarantee you’ll like these mushrooms. The Garlic Cashew Cheese and fresh basil add a nice coolness to the dish. If you really want it over the top, make some homemade Vegan Garlic Aioli to put on top of the finished dish. Bot the Garlic Cashew Cheese and Vegan Garlic Aioli recipes are from my cookbook, Peruvegan, but you can find the recipes for both by clicking here.
This dish can be prepped in a few minutes, and cooked in about ten minutes. I like it for dinner, served over rice and steamed greens (which absorbs all the great sauce). It also makes a great appetizer for a party, just adjust the size. You’ll remember how much mushrooms shrink when you make this recipe, and you’ll wish you had made more!
Ingredients:
2 – 16 oz. packages of Crimini mushrooms
2 T. olive oil
1 large garlic clove, minced
3/4 c. Sriracha sauce
1/4 c. Braggs Liquid Aminos
1 – 2 T. of Garlic Cashew Cheese
2 – 3 T. of fresh basil, julienned
Directions:
Clean mushrooms thoroughly and set aside. (You may keep them whole or slice in half.) In a large skillet over medium heat, saute garlic in olive oil for about one to two minutes. Add mushrooms and cover. Reduce heat to medium low and allow the mushrooms to sweat and cook for about three minutes. Remove lid and add Sriracha sauce and Braggs Liquid Aminos. Stir. Cover with lid and allow to cook for about 10 more minutes (or until desired doneness). Remove from heat. Add Garlic Cashew Cheese and stir. Top with fresh basil.
