Lions Mane Crab Cakes
A great play on Crab cakes. Utilizing Lions Manes crab like features this is a great way to enjoy a non shellfish alternative to the classic crab cake.
Serves 4 people
Ingredients
- 1lb Lions mane mushroom
- 1 can of chickpeas
- 1 or 2 tsp chopped garlic
- 1 lb onion
- 1 tbsp oat flour or chickpea flour
- 1 fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp aquafaba (chickpea water)
- 1 tsp kelp or seaweed
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ¼ cup fresh parsley
- Dash of allspice
- ¼ tsp of cayenne
- ½ tsp of each ginger, coriander, salt & pepper
Preparation Preheat the oven to 375°
- Pull the lions mane apart, so that it is shredded into small pieces. Set aside and dice onions for sautéing. Fine chop the fresh parsley and set it aside for later. In a small bowl mix all of the spices together. If you are using seaweed sheets, crush it up into flakes or powder.
- Heat a pan to medium or medium high and saute the onions for about 5 minutes. Then add in the shredded lions mane and half of the spices. Cook for about 20 minutes.
- In a food processor blend, ¾ of the chickpeas, lime juice, and auqafaba (more if it's too dry). Once you have reached a paste/creamy like texture put it into a bowl. Take the remaining chickpeas and mash them with a fork, keep them a little chunky, and add them to the other mixture. Next, add in the fresh parsley, remaining spices, and flour, mix well.
- Preheat the oven to 375°. Take the lions mane chickpea mixture and form it into little pattie shapes, about ½ inch thick. Heat a cast iron or stainless steel pan to medium/medium high and oil lightly. Cook the patties on each side until browned. Then, transfer them to a baking sheet and bake for about 10-15 minutes.
Mushroom Meatballs
A meatless meatball with our Oyster Mushrooms. Doesn't taste anything like a mushroom once its prepared and is a great way to get people that are unfamiliar with mushrooms to try them.
Ingredients
- 1 lb of fresh oyster mushrooms
- ¾ cups of oats (coarsely ground) - We prefer TN Bean Man Oats
- 1 cup of walnuts (ground into tiny bits)
- 1 large onion
- 3-4 cloves of garlic
- 2 TBSP of oregano, parsley and thyme (dried or fresh)
- 1 tsp of coconut aminos
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes, optional
Preparation preheat oven to 350°
- Dice the onion and cut up the mushrooms. Heat a pan to medium and add the onions, saute for a few minutes. Then add in the mushrooms, garlic and herbs. Saute for about 15 minutes.
- Coarsely grind the oats in a food processor. Then grind the walnuts. Combine and set aside in a large mixing bowl.
- Take the sauteed mushroom mix and add into the food processor a little at a time. Blend or plus until it looks mushy. Add all the blended mushrooms into the oats and walnuts. Add salt, pepper and coconut aminos. Mix well and allow to sit for about 5-10 minutes, so the oats can soak up the moisture.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or oil the pan. Roll the mushroom meatball mixture into 1” balls and set on the baking sheet.
- Bake at 350° for 20 minutes, until they have browned up on the tops.
- Add them with your favorite pasta dish, or meatball subs.
Lions Mane Steaks
We've tried, unintentionally and intentionally, to overcook the lions mane. Its tough, yet tender, and allows you to grill it or pan sear it and get a nice char on it. These cast iron Lions Mane Steaks are a treat.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Lions Mane Mushroom
- Salt, Pepper, and Garlic
- Oil of choice, H2O, or broth for cooking
- Any other spices that you choose to give it bold flavor. Could use Steak seasoning.
Preparation
- Cut the Lions Mane into thick medallions ( ½ inch)
- Heat cast iron skillet to medium heat
- Season Lions Mane medallions in seasonings or marinades of choice
Cooking
- If you like to cook in oil or butter then put that in the skillet to heat up/melt. If not then you can go ahead and place the Lions Mane on the skillet and cook until browned/seared on that side, adding water or broth as needed so that they don’t stick. Then flip them over and cook for the same amount of time, in total about 15-20 mins.
