“Who Said Gourmet Scallops Can’t Be Vegan? Dive into this Mushroom Ceviche Surprise!”
Hey there! 🌱💦
I've got to share this with you: the other day, I was reminiscing about the ocean and the tantalizing taste of scallop ceviche. But then, curiosity whispered, “Could I recreate that experience... but vegan?” And guess what? The answer is a resounding YES!
The secret? It all starts in the humble kitchen with a mushroom grow kit. The moment those gourmet lion's mane and oyster mushrooms emerged, I knew they held the key to my ocean cravings. And the result was a flavor-packed ceviche that would make any seafood lover take a second look.
Ready to dive in? Let's embark on this culinary voyage together.
Vegan “Scallop” Mushroom Ceviche:
Ingredients:
1 cup lion's mane mushroom, diced (mimics the scallop texture wonderfully!)
1 cup oyster mushroom, thinly sliced
Juice of 2 large limes
1 red onion, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped (adjust according to heat preference)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 avocado, diced (optional for added creaminess)
Instructions:
Mushroom Prep: Gently rinse and dice your lion's mane and oyster mushrooms. Many often wonder, “Are gourmet mushrooms tricky to cook?” Not at all. Especially in this recipe, where we let the lime do all the magic.
Mix & Marinate: In a large bowl, combine the diced mushrooms, lime juice, red onion, red bell pepper, jalapeño, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Give everything a good mix.
Chill & Serve: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours. This allows the lime juice to “cook” the mushrooms and the flavors to meld. Before serving, fold in the diced avocado. Enjoy with tortilla chips or on its own!
It's heartwarming to see how even the humblest of ingredients, like mushrooms from a simple grow kit, can be elevated to gourmet heights. So next time someone asks, “Is it even possible to have vegan scallops?”, share this little secret with them.
