We all know that mushrooms are the epitome of umami: savoriness one of the five basic tastes. Think, yummy, salty, satisfying, meaty!

YUM. THE BEST! 😋

“Add some extra “MMM” to your favorite bowls, wraps, and sliders with these hearty mushroom bites.”

That’s right.
Big Mountain Foods hits the nail on the head for ALL of us – anyone who loves food.
They use some sort of magic to create vegan veggie goodness in all of their foods – and today we feature the Mighty Mushroom Bites.

Is there anything better, more healing, nourishing, and exceptional than mushrooms? 🍄

I think not.

And, (don’t forget this), homemade sourdough bread and a sweet and spicy tomato sauce?

Yep. You’ve got it!

Sweet and Spicy MMM Mighty Mushroom Bite Toast

Sweet Spicy Smoky Sauce:
1-2 Tbs. olive oil
1 lb. ripe cherry tomatoes
2 Tbs. sweet honey balsamic vinegar (vegan)
sea salt and pepper
1 small serrano pepper, seeded and finely diced
2 tsp. Kashmiri chili powder
1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
2 Tbs. agave nectar

In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over low heat. Add the small tomatoes and cook until beginning to break down. Season with salt and pepper and add the vinegar. Cover and cook on low, stirring and breaking apart the tomatoes every 3-5 minutes or so – you’re at a simmer, at this point.
Sprinkle in the serrano and chili powder, as well as the smoked paprika. Cook and cover again still stirring often over low heat, until the tomatoes break down and the sauce begins to thicken. Drizzle in the agave and cook on low for another 5 minutes, or so.

Set aside and let cool.

MMM Mighty Mushrooms:
1 Tbs. olive oil
1 1/2 cups sliced shiitake mushrooms
10 Big Mountain MMM Mighty Mushroom Bites

In another medium saucepan, over low heat, warm the oil. Add the sliced mushrooms (so good) and sauté until soft, stirring every so often.
Add the 10 MMM Mighty Mushroom Bites. Coat in oil. Cover and stir every so often, until crispy.

To Assemble:
Slather each slice of toasted sourdough with 2 Tbs. Sweet Spicy Smoky Sauce. Then, top with the MMM Mighty Mushrooms, mushrooms and vegan goodness. Top with another small dollop of sauce.

Savor in the sweet and spicy umami goodness of this vegan wonderland.
