Instructions
Make Oyster Mushrooms. They can even be made a day or more ahead of time.
- Grind your flax seed at home in a blender once every two weeks or when using. Buying pre-ground flax seed is likely to have the fats oxidized and thus be lacking in the omega-3 fatty acids your body craves.
- Combine 1 part flax:3 parts water. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes or more to become thick.
- Batter rinsed mushrooms in flax mixture, dip in bread crumbs, then fry in expeller pressed coconut oil or olive oil for 2-4 minutes per a side depending on how hot your skillet is. A cast iron skillet works well for this recipe.
Make Your Sandwich
- Top two slices of fresh or toasted (if more than 2 days hold) Vegan Milk Bread with listed sandwich ingredients, or use a classic combination of tomatoes and lettuce. Finely chopped cruciferous greens like collard greens are also good.
Notes
This is a flexible recipe and your total time will depend on how many mushrooms you make. The time given is assuming you are making 4-5. Make the amount that you would like to for your mushrooms. You can make as few as 2 because you can not possible eat only one. Or make a whole batch and store in a glass or metal container with a cotton towel on the bottom to keep crispy. Warm in the oven when you are ready to use. They can top a vegan bowl or star as a main dish along side some other vegetables and a whole grain.
