Directions

5 mins to prep

10 mins to cook

30 mins to marinate

  1. Step 1

    In a bowl add all the marinade ingredients and mix well. Add the whole button mushrooms and stir well until all mushrooms are covered. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    In a high-speed blender, add the soaked and strained cashews, 1/4 cup of water and the vegan chicken-style stock. Blend until smooth and then add the other 1/4 cup of water. It should have the consistency of milk, If it’s too thick, add a splash of water and blend again.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a frying pan on medium to high heat and add a good splash of olive oil. Add the marinated mushrooms to the pan and let them sit for 2 minutes before stirring occasionally. Cook for another 5–7 minutes or until all mushrooms are brown.

  4. Step 4

    Add the cashew cream, quickly stir the mushrooms until covered and remove from heat.

  5. Step 5

    To assemble, toast your ciabatta bread and smother the toast with vegan cream cheese (optional). Next add your creamy mushrooms and top with some fresh parsley, salt and chilli flakes.
