How To Cook This Delicious Grilled Swiss Brown Mushrooms with Creamy Mashed Potatoes
Grilled Swiss Brown Mushrooms with Creamy Mashed Potatoes
Ingredients
Method
- Cut off the stem of the mushrooms and store for other recipes.
- Combine the marinade ingredients and the dry rub ingredients in two separate small bowls.
- Brush both sides of the mushrooms with the marinade, and let it soak up the flavors for at least 20 minutes. After the marinade, season both sides with the dry rub ingredients.
- On a grilling pan, grill both sides of the mushrooms until it becomes beautifully charred and perfectly tender.
- Peel the potatoes and chop into even-sized pieces. Chopping it into a smaller size helps cook it faster while boiling.
- In a saucepan, boil the potatoes for 15 minutes, or until soft and tender. You’ll know it's perfectly cooked if you pierce it with a fork and the potato slides right off easily. Drain the water with a colander.
- Transfer the potatoes back into the pan and add the soy milk. Use a potato masher. Once you've achieved a smooth texture, add the melted vegan butter, garlic salt, and sprinkle in a pinch of black pepper. Mix well and serve with the grilled mushrooms on top. You can also add some green peas. Enjoy!
