A savory and tangy filling made in under 10 minutes and with only 6 ingredients. These BBQ pulled mushroom sliders are simple, clean, and wholesome with endless possibilities!
As many bloggers do, I was preparing for the NFL Superbowl a couple of weeks ago and I was thinking about fun, plant-based game day appetizers. One thing I get messaged about frequently is when you guys say that it’s much easier to stay plant-based in the safety of your own home when it’s just you and your routine. But what happens when something (let’s say an event like the Super Bowl) pops up and suddenly your routine is out of whack?
The truth is: nothing happens if you’ve planned for it! In 2020, almost any food or cuisine can be recreated in a plant-based way even though I specifically advise not trying to substitute meat. In my opinion, meat is meat and there’s no true substitute. Instead of looking for a substitute and likely getting disappointed, retrain your palette to savor and enjoy other flavors. Treasure the freshness of a new lifestyle with new tastes until they become savored and familiar favorites.
When you’re getting together with friends (especially at your place), it’s such an awesome opportunity to loop everyone into a plant-based lifestyle (even if only for the evening!). It’s good for our health, for the environment and for the animals.
In my game day line up, I prepared popular favorites like buffalo cauliflower, black bean nachos, a vegan charcuterie board. At the last minute, I simply had to throw these BBQ pulled mushroom sliders on the list because they are just too dang good and easy.
The BBQ sauce is tangy and slightly sweet. The sautéed onions and garlic leak their pungent flavors. The mushrooms are chewy like pulled pork and just soak up the flavor of the BBQ sauce. The best part is that this BBQ Pulled Mushroom filling can go on anything. You can heap it onto pizza. Stuff it into quesadillas. Load them up into sliders! Fajitas. Burritos. The possibilities are endless!
