Description

These skewers of mixed mushrooms have a deliciously meaty flavour and texture and yet are completely vegan friendly – we love!


Ingredients

Mushroom Kebabs

500–600 g mixed mushrooms (Portobello, Portobellini and Oyster)
40 ml olive oil
40 ml lemon juice
Salt and black pepper, to taste

Cashew Aioli

100 g cashew cheese
20 g pine nuts, soaked and drained
8 small garlic cloves, roasted and de-skinned
4 tsp (20 ml) fresh lemon juice
½ tsp (2,5 ml) lemon zest
Salt
White pepper
2 tsp (5 ml) Dijon mustard
¼ C (60 ml) olive oil

To Serve

4 flatbreads, toasted with garlic and olive oil
Cashew aioli
½ C (250 ml) hummus
½ red onion, thinly sliced
Parsley
Baba ganoush
pickled mushrooms (shimeji and button)


Instructions

Mushroom Kebabs

Preheat the oven to 190 ºC.

Skewer the mushrooms onto metal or bamboo skewers (pre-soak bamboo skewers in water) and brush with olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper.

Place onto a baking tray and put under the grill to cook. Turn often and baste with extra olive oil if needed.

Cashew Aioli

Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until creamy and emulsified.

Serve the mushroom kebabs on a board topped with generous dollops of hummus, baba ganoush and cashew aioli. Scatter with freshly chopped parsley, slices of red onion and pickled mushrooms. Serve the flatbreads on the side.


Rudi Liebenberg

Rudi Liebenberg, executive chef at The Mount Nelson Hotel, decided that he wanted to be a chef because he didn't want to talk to people and 'food doesn't talk back'. In essence, his food speaks so loudly that he need never say another word. His culinary journey covers stints at the Michelangelo, the Sheraton and the Saxon but he has now settled happily in Cape Town with his family and has no plans to return to Johannesburg. His style of cooking is modern, but based on a love of 'real' food - home made pasta, down to earth home cooking with a 'cheffy' twist - fresh, delicious and with a nod to what is seasonal.
