Korean Honey Mushroom Tacos
YIELD: Makes 4 servings
INGREDIENTS
For Taco Filling:
4 - large Portobello mushroom caps, no stem
2 1/2 T - vegetable oil
4 T - garlic, minced
1 tsp. - white sesame seeds
4 tsp. - gochujang sauce
4 T - buckwheat honey
For Taco Topping:
2 cups - romaine lettuce, shredded
2 1/2 T - salsa verde
2 1/2 T - feta cheese, small crumbles
8 - thin crunchy taco shells, small size (5 inches x 2 inches)
DIRECTIONS
Slice each Portobello mushroom cap into 6 even strips (24 strips total). Keep at room temperature.
Heat oil in a large non-stick sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the mushroom strips and sauté for approximately 3 minutes, then add the garlic and sauté for approximately an additional 2 minutes (or until the mushroom strips are fully cooked/softened/browned and garlic is lightly browned).
Add the sesame seeds, gochujang sauce and buckwheat honey to the mushrooms. Gently toss to evenly combine and cook for approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute to glaze the mushrooms. Keep hot.
Finished mushrooms should absorb all the ingredients and have a glazed/sticky consistency and be fully coated by the ingredients.
To serve, place approximately 1/4 cup of shredded lettuce in each of the 8 taco shells, then top each lettuce filled taco with 1 tsp. salsa verde and 1 tsp. feta cheese crumbles. Top with 3 hot slices of the glazed Portobello mushroom strips.
Serve 2 tacos per person and enjoy!

TIP
Substitute thick sliced button or cremini mushrooms for the Portobello mushrooms. You can find pre-sliced button or cremini mushrooms at most grocery stores.
Substitute sriracha or your favorite hot sauce for gochujang sauce.
