This recipe is part of my first e-book, "It's All About the Lion's Mane", but if you don't have access to Lion's Mane mushroom, or don't have any growing at home, you can easily swap it out for oyster or shiitake mushrooms. Hope you enjoy this crispy cornmeal battered Po'boy! UPDATED RECIPE for Part 3 of Fire Sandwiches Made w/ Plantz & Mushroomz Today, we are diving into a classic Po'boy! This sandwich has a crispy creole cornmeal batter. I also added fresh dill, red bell peppers, sriracha dill “remoulade”, dill pickles, and purple coleslaw - stuffed into creole butter toasted bread! Straight fire!!!

Once I made my first dish with turnips, the next step was to experiment with parsnips! When eaten raw, people say that parsnips have a peppery, nutty flavor. When cooked, I think they taste a little sweet. For this recipe, I marinated the parsnips and thinly sliced them with a mandolin. Almost looks like lunch meat, right?

I’ve been making plant-based ribs for over three years but could never get the texture just right. The end result was either too chewy or not chewy enough. I’ve finally cracked the code with the combo of jackfruit and pink oysters. It’s time to get the grills out and unleash the smoky flavors all spring/summer.

Spicy Harissa Portobello Burger with Plantain Bacon while camping in the beauty of the desert 🏜️ 🌵. I had to start cooking this delicious sandwich before the desert heat came for me. I had another recipe in mind but struck gold when I discovered my plantains were not ripe. If you can use young jackfruit and young breadfruit to create meat replacements, why can't you use young plantains? When plantains are not mature, they are not sweet and can take on the flavor you want. I was impressed with how crispy the plantains were. I love anything mushroom and grilled on a wood fire, and this Spicy Harissa Portabella did not disappoint. Check out the recipe for the marinate below.

I am wrapping up my 3-day raw vegan reset. These tacos helped me fly past day two with no stress. These basic tacos will satisfy you on your raw vegan days with no problem. The Orange Bell Pepper Cashew Sauce is out of this world. So much flavor and creamy. No need for vegan mayo for this recipe. Tomorrow I am back to eating cooked food, but I will be making these again next month we do our next raw vegan reset.

Mushrooms are incredible, and learning more about each species fascinates me. I have been trying to grow snow oyster mushrooms for about a year. Every time they started to pin, they stopped growing and turned dry and brown. I moved to the desert, and the weather is colder at night than in San Diego. I placed the North Spore fruiting block into a chest outdoors and sprayed it daily since I still needed to set my grow tent up at the new place. Surprisingly, the snow oysters grew, and I got a big flush/harvest. They finally grew because the weather was colder outside at night than in my house. Snow oysters love to fruit in colder weather at 45-65°F. Now, fruiting blocks are meant to grow in tents, but I learned you can succeed in different environments. Also, mushrooms are like fruits and vegetables because they can thrive in seasons. I am starting a new journey with growing mushrooms in 2024. I will learn how to grow outdoors in my soon-to-be garden and how to reuse the growing blocks after I have grown mushrooms indoors. Let's learn together. As for this, how do Snow Oysters taste? I couldn't taste a difference, but I love the texture. They are less chewy and buttery. But that's just me. They were perfect for this Chili Pepper Passion Fruit Sauce. OMG, we could not stop eating them.
