Mushrooms are definitely an acquired taste. Honestly, I didn’t like them very much until after I became a vegan. Once vegan, mushrooms became my main meat substitute. I tried them in so many different meals, burgers, lasagnas, soups, enchiladas, tacos, and so much more. One of my early vegan favorites was stuffing portobellos with navy beans and spinach, topping with nutritional yeast and bread crumbs.

I never would have found my deep appreciation for mushrooms if I had not tried cooking/eating them so many different ways.

This recipe can be made in under 30- Minutes, using 1-pot, and only 8 ingredients! Already sounds pretty amazing, right? Well, keep reading…
