Satay Mushroom Skewers
Ingredients
Satay mushrooms
200 g white flat mushrooms, sliced into thick strips
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp coconut aminos or tamari
1 tsp hot sauce
1 Juice of a lime
6 wooden skewers, soaked in water
Salad
2 Lebanese cucumbers, sliced into thin ribbo
1 cup pea sprouts
¼ red onion, finely sliced
1 Juice of a lime
1 tbsp olive oil
Satay sauce
½ cup smooth peanut butter
½ cup coconut aminos or tamari
½ cup boiling water, plus extra if needed
To serve
2 tsp roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
1 tsp finely chopped fresh red chilli
1 tbsp fresh herbs, optional
1 Juice of a lime
Directions
Get started by slicing white flat mushrooms into thick strips. Place in a bowl and use your hands to coat well with the olive oil, coconut aminos, hot sauce and lime juice.
Thread onto 4–6 skewers and transfer to a fry or griddle pan and cook until softened through, golden brown and caramelised. This takes about 4–6 minutes each side on medium-high heat.
Meanwhile, for the salad, combine the listed ingredients in a bowl and use your hands to toss and coat well.
To serve, start with a base of your zesty salad, top with the skewers, drizzle with the satay sauce, sprinkle with the roasted peanuts, fresh red chilli, fresh herbs, and a squeeze of lime juice.

Summer Mushroom San Choy Bow
Ingredients
400 g white button mushrooms, roughly diced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 long red chilli, finely diced
¼ red onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, finely diced
1 tbsp finely sliced fresh ginger
1 tbsp coconut aminos, or Tamari
1 tbsp hot sauce
To serve
4 baby gem lettuce, core removed
1 Handful of fresh bean sprouts
¼ cup roughly torn coriander
½ green chilli, thinly sliced
¼ red onion, thinly sliced
1 Juice of a lime
Directions
Get started by roughly dicing your white button mushrooms and heat a large fry pan over medium-high heat with a splash of olive oil. Add the mushrooms, along with the fresh red chilli, red onion, garlic cloves, ginger, coconut aminos and hot sauce. Cook down for 8–10 minutes until the mushrooms have softened and the flavours are lovely and aromatic and caramelised.
To serve, start with a base of fresh lettuce cups. I like to layer three lettuce leaves together per cup. Load them up with the vibrant mushroom filling and top with fresh bean sprouts.

Banh mi is always a good idea – and this mushroom one from Miguel Maestre is no exception!
Ingredients
500 g portobello mushrooms
½ cup peanut oil
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 lemongrass stalk, finely grated
4 long bread rolls
⅓ cup chicken or duck pate (See Tip)
⅓ cup Japanese mayonnaise (Kewpie)
½ cup fresh mint and coriander leaves
To serve
thinly sliced fresh birds eye chilli (optional)
Thinly sliced green spring onion
toasted sesame seeds
Sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 tbsp honey
Pickled vegetables
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 tbsp white sugar
2 small Lebanese cucumbers, thinly sliced
1 large carrot, peeled, thinly shredded
3 baby radishes, thinly sliced
Salt and pepper, to season
Directions
Thickly slice the mushrooms, then score cut sides of each slice in a diagonal pattern.
Combine oil, garlic and lemongrass in a large bowl. Add mushrooms and season with salt and pepper.
To make sauce, combine all ingredients in a separate large bowl. Set aside.
To make pickled vegetables, combine vinegar and sugar in a bowl. Add remaining ingredients, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Stand 10 minutes, or until vegetables are softened.
Preheat a large barbecue flat plate or large frying pan over a high heat. Add mushrooms in two batches. Cook for about 3–4 minutes on each side, or until tender. Remove and add to sauce mixture. Toss gently to coat.
To serve, split the rolls down the middle without cutting all the way through. Spread one side with pate and other side with mayonnaise. Fill with pickled vegetables and herbs.
Remove the mushrooms from the sauce, allowing excess to drip off, and add to the rolls. Scatter with spring onion, chilli (if using) and sesame seeds. Serve and eat immediately.
Tip – For a vegetarian option, omit pate.
