Mushroom Birria Base
Ingredients
1.5 Lbs Oyster mushrooms (more or less)
5 -6 dried Guajillo chiles
2 -3 dried Cascabel chiles
2 - 4 Arbol chile (optional for extra heat)
7 cloves garlic
1 medium onion, quartered
4 ripe tomatoes
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon black pepper corns
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3 -4 cloves
1 cinnamon stick
1 lemon, juiced
Salt to taste
3.5 cups vegetable broth
For the Tacos:
500g (about 1 pound) oyster mushrooms, shredded
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt to taste
Corn tortillas
Vegan cheese (optional)
Chopped onions, cilantro, and lime wedges for garnish
Instructions
Birria Sauce: Toast Chiles: Remove stems and seeds from the chiles. Toast them in a dry pan over medium heat until they start to puff up and release their aroma. Be careful not to burn them.
Reconstitute Chiles: Place the toasted chiles in a pot with boiling water for about 10 minutes until they soften.
Blend Sauce Ingredients: In a blender, combine the softened chiles, garlic, onion, tomato. Blend until smooth. Add left over liquid from soaking the chillies.
Simmer the Sauce: Pour the blended sauce into a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Adjust salt to taste.
Prepare the Oyster Mushrooms:
Cook Mushrooms: In a large oven safe pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add the oyster mushrooms and press a couple times on each side to sear and caramelize. Cook until they're nicely browned and reduced in size, about 10 minutes.
Mix with Sauce: Add enough birria sauce to the cooked mushrooms to coat them generously. Stir well and bring to a simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to absorb the flavors of the sauce. Then cover and pop in a 180C / 350F oven and cook an additional 45 mins. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Strain the mushrooms from the broth (save the broth) and separate according to which recipe you want to do.
Assemble the Tacos:
Mince mushrooms and sauté with diced onion
Heat Tortillas: dip the in the broth and warm the corn tortillas on a skillet
Spoon the mushroom mixture onto each tortilla. If using, sprinkle some vegan cheese on top.
Garnish with a side of broth with chopped onions and cilantro.
Lentils:
1 cup Green speckled lentils
3.5 cups broth/water
2 celery stalks, diced
2 carrots, diced
Teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
Bring lentils to a boil then lower to a medium simmer until cooked soft
Crispy Fried Birria ‘Chicken’ Mushrooms
INGREDIENTS:
Birria broth marinated Oyster Mushrooms
3 parts all-purpose flour and 1 part cornstarch (3 cups: 1 cup for one batch)
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Juice of 1 lemon
3 cups Plant-based milk
1 cup birria sauce (for dipping or tossing)
Instructions:
Dry Batter: In a bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Add the white pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Stir to combine evenly.
Wet Ingredients: plant-based milk, lemon juice, ½ cup Birria and mix together
Dip and Coat: Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C). Dip each mushroom piece into the batter, TWICE, allowing any excess to drip off.
Fry the Mushrooms: Carefully place the coated mushrooms into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can cause the mushrooms to stick together and not crisp up properly.
Fry the mushrooms until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes depending on their size.
Drain: Remove the mushrooms from the oil and let them drain on a wire rack or paper towels to remove excess oil. FRY TWICE
Serve: Serve the crispy fried mushrooms with a side of warm birria sauce for dipping, or toss them in the sauce for an extra flavor kick.
Love when chefs do videos like this. Zero food waste and meal prep one ingredient to eat 3 4 ways. Please do more of these!
Your chicken farm to mushroom farm activism is truly an amazing idea. People love to say vegans hate farmers but that's not the case. We love farmers and want to show them and encourage them and support them in converting to a more compassionate and possibly more profitable way.
He converted a chicken abuse place in to a mushroom growing place??? 😭👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💚🌱
Hello, native Mexican here. FYI, not sure if it's mislabeled, but the chilis you had as "chile de arbol" were not those. Those were Chile Puya a hotter, smaller version of guajillo. Arbol is brighter red, thinner, hotter, and smaller. In any case, this recipe looks FRICKIN' amazing! A couple of drops of fresh lime in the consomme when served is the finishing touch. Will try today this today!. And LOVED to conversion of a chicken farm to a mushroom farm. ❤🐔
Watching your channel, it makes me wonder why so many eateries can't even come up with one vegan option.
It looks delicious 😮. I'm vegetarian, so many Hispanics (I'm Hispanic ) couldn't understand how i could live without meat. Lol, I really love my pinto beans and rice.
I’m allergic to oyster mushrooms, please please!!! I’m begging you to try this in a future video, it’s freakin’ awesome: get dried shitake mushrooms from an asian supermarket, soak in boiling water, remove stems & blitz in a food processor: best “mince” you’ll ever eat, better than lentils, better than ALL of the plant based-crumbles, MUCH better than fresh crimini/ portobello/chestnut/button mushrooms. Serious “meaty” texture & no spores to defeat my immune system. 👊🏻💨💨 Much love Derek 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻💚
Wow, love this video. Wish we could start converting all the animal abuse farms into mushroom farms. Ethical, delicious and nutritious 😁 Amazing how you used one sauce to create so many dishes 😋🌱 More videos like this please!
Derek! All I have to say is.. wow!! I'm an aspiring plant based chef looking to take it up a notch and get professional, and your channel is literally amazing! All in one. Professionalism. Expertise. Creativity. Culinary Revolution. Innovation. Cruelty Free. Tradition. Health. Love in every single food you make. Wow! I see all of these chefs that call themselves the 'greatest' and all they know how to cook is either a filet mignon or lobster, always with the same same dishes over and over again on each and every menu. I'm looking for chefs that are innovative and ACTUALLY creative WITH FOOD (not animals) to inspire me. And I think I've found the right guy. You are revolutionising the culinary industry, one video at a time. And for that, I would like to say a big big thank you! Keep this going, Chef Sarno!
🤣🤣OMG that was spot on for "Andy" - I have posted to his shorts that he needs more plant based dishes in his life! But I think I relate more to your idea of "hey babe" as I talk to my dogs way more then humans. This all looks amazing... as per usual with you. Maybe you can do a cook off with Andy and you can do anything he does... but vegan! Ok back to the show!
This man has engaged God-mode. All you can do is stand back, admire and be envious. It’s gone 1am and now I am starving hungry. Where are the restaurants serving this food? Take my money already. Keep up the great work that man. 👏👏👏👍
I recently moved to the Irish countryside and met the most amazing mushroom farm, where I finally got some Lions mane. Used the techniques I learned from you and from the pictures i took everyone thought it was meat. It was far tastier! Thank you so much for the inspiration and for driving such a change for a more sustainable world.
as a Chef am subscribing in the hopes of more Francesca content BUT staying for the amazing plant based deliciousness! 👏
Oh this all looks incredible!!! Things made with dried chiles are so yum. Also, the mushroom farm made me cry happy tears!
We've missed you Derek and Frankie! Loved the intro 😆❤️
Derek, your recipes are immensely rich and beautiful together! With all of your Vegan creations, chef skills, and restaurant knowledge, you would bring such joy to British Vegans and meat eaters alike with a restaurant focused on healthy, all-natural cuisine. I hope it is in your plans because I personally believe you would be an instant success.
Why oh why am I watching this before lunch? I'm LITERALLY salivating! Please more Mexican/Texican/Southwestern inspired videos please!
Love showing how many dishes you can add one big sauce meal prep to as well! Great as always :)
This is fire bro!! I’m gonna try some of these recipes 🔥
They all look ridiculously delicious! I LOVE the chicken farm to mushroom farm conversion ❤ let's hope many more chicken farms will follow the example
