Ingredients

• 8 pieces King oyster mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons Vegan butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 medium Shallots, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Dry vegan white wine
• 1 cup Vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 sheet Nori sheets, finely shredded
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 loaf Crusty bread or vegan baguette (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the king oyster mushrooms and slice the stems into 1-inch thick rounds. Trim the tops and lightly score the round slices with a crisscross pattern to mimic the texture of mussels.

Step 2

In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat the vegan butter and olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the dry vegan white wine and bring it to a gentle simmer. Let it reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Add the vegetable broth, shredded nori, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Gently place the king oyster mushroom pieces into the broth, ensuring they are partly submerged. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the mushrooms to steam and absorb the flavors for about 8-10 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the lid and stir in the lemon juice and fresh parsley. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Serve the vegan steamed 'mussels' hot, with some crusty bread or a vegan baguette on the side to soak up the flavorful broth.
