Mushroom "Scallop" Scampi

 
Author Tiffani

Ingredients

For the marinade...

  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
  • 3/4  cup white wine
  • 1 1/2 tsp kelp granules
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

Everything else...

  • 5 large king oyster mushrooms
  • 1/2 red onion  sliced
  • 3 scallions chopped, greens and whites separated
  • tsp dill plus more for garnish, chopped
  • 1 stick vegan margarine if soy or nut-free make sure to check ingredients, Earth Balance makes a soy free variety
  • 2-3 Tbsp garlic minced
  • 1 Tbsp  lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 3-4 servings brown rice, rice of choice, or cauliflower "rice" for grain free (I've used sprouted brown Basmati as well as turmeric & truffle seasoned cauliflower "rice")

Instructions

  • Slice tops off mushrooms, you can keep these to use later for another recipe. Then cut each in pieces about 1 - 1 1/2 inches thick, to resemble scallops. Place mushrooms in a 9x9 baking dish, or another dish or container of a similar size. One that will fit mushrooms, without leaving too much excess room in the dish (see photo above).
  • Whisk together marinade ingredients and pour in dish over mushrooms. Marinade should cover the bottom half of each mushroom piece. These will now sit for 1-2 hours. Half way through marinating, flip each mushroom so both ends get saturated.
  • Melt margarine in a large skillet over medium heat. Once margarine is melted, add garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add 1/2 cup white wine plus the red onion. Sauté on medium heat until onion slices are translucent. While onions are cooking you may also add the lemon, salt, and pepper.
  • Place mushrooms (but not the marinade) in skillet and let cook 5 minutes. Keep broth at a simmer. If it starts to boil, turn down the heat a bit. Flip the mushrooms and add the chopped whites of scallions. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, adding dill after 4 minutes.
  • Check for doneness by putting pressure on the tops of the mushrooms, to see if they've gotten soft. Some may need a minute or two more. Move these to the hottest part of your skillet. To serve, place one serving of brown rice on a deep plate or in a bowl. Align "scallops" around the rice. Spoon broth over scallops and top with the chopped greens of scallions. Garnish with dill if desired.

Notes

Serves 3-4. I ended up with 22 "scallops."
