This BBQ Pulled Mushrooms recipe is a delicious filling that even mushroom haters will love. Perfect for meat-free burgers and pairs wonderfully with crunchy slaw. A must-try for any vegan or plant-based meal!
1: Shred the oyster mushrooms using your hands by pulling from the cap down to the base to separate the fibers. Place in a large bowl.
2: Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and swirl to coat the base of the pan. When hot, fry the pulled mushrooms for 2 minutes until reduced down to a single layer.
3: Once reduced, fry for an additional 7-8 minutes until golden, only turning them every 1-2 minutes for even cooking.
4: Add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper, then fry for 1 minute.
5: Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the barbecue sauce and water and cook for 2 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
6: Use this as a filling in burgers, add it to salads/nourish bowls or any meal you’d like. Enjoy!
