Mushroom Bacon

Mushroom Bacon
by Evangelina Ferrero

Sliced mushroom pieces are marinated in a few basic ingredients, such as liquid smoke and maple syrup, to give it that sweet and smoky bacon flavor. Ideal for BLTs, tofu scrambles, or paired with a seitan steak.

My Story

I enjoyed BLT sandwiches prior to going vegan and found some lovely alternatives such as this mushroom recipe or even using smoked tofu. I've seen some people use banana peel or rice paper but have yet to try those versions. I like that mushrooms are a whole food and so versatile. This is a regular go-to recipe in my home.
