  • This vegetarian /vegan bacon is made with mushrooms and tastes SO GOOD. It has been a long time since I have eaten real bacon, I stopped eating pigs before I went vegetarian (speciesist I know), but I still remember the taste and this is as good if not better. This meatless bacon recipe is for those of you wanting to avoid harming animals /the environment /your bodies but still enjoy that bacon likeness :)
    Sorry for calling mushrooms plants, they are obviously fungi, but it's an easy slip up!
    Vegan Mushroom Bacon
    - 3 portobello mushrooms - cut about 5mm thick
    - 3 tbsp oil
    - 2 tbsp bbq sauce OR 1 dash liquid smoke
    - 2 tbsp soy sauce
    - 1 tsp maple syrup
    - 1/2 tsp paprika -smoked paprika if you have it
    1 tsp garlic salt and 1/2 tsp pepper
    - optional 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
    Bake at 170c for 20min - take out and flip, then grill for 10min, allow to cool and they will crisp up. keep unused ‘bacon’ in airtight container for up to a week.
    I love this in pasta, its great in salads, on pizza, and in samis. The crunchy, salty, sweet, chewy, flavourful pieces are so tasty.

    This recipe was delicious. I only broiled it for 5 minutes because my counter-top oven began smoking at about 4 minutes and at 5 minutes the parchment paper was black. I didn't want to risk losing the batch. I try to minimize my oil consumption so next time I would use less oil. Doubling the recipe was the perfect amount for 3 large Portobello mushrooms. Thank you so much Ela.

    I have a batch of the hot dog- carrots soaking in the fridge right now, and I am gonna search for that video where you make some kind of chocolate candy (not as in candy made of chocolate, but as in actually making chocolate) right now :D

    • @LiWaLystra
      @LiWaLystra 8 років тому

      +LiWaLystra eh, I can't seem to find the recipe? Am I mixing it up with someone ele's channel maybe? I think it was about making chocolate candy with cocoa and water and some other things, very simple, and then putting them into small silicone forms and let them sit in the fridge/freezer until set. I was so sure it was your channel though, but the only chocolate recipes I can find require store bought chocolate.

  • @evana2511
    @evana2511 8 років тому

    I just tried this and it was delicious. I may never find a good reason to eat real bacon again. I was skeptical about this, but I figured the worst that could happen is I'd have some crispy mushrooms. I like mushrooms, so that would've been just fine. However, these turned out great. It's not bacon, but it's very close. Sweet, salty, savory. I put mine on bread and had a "bacon" tomato sandwich. Thank u for posting this recipe. Tomorrow, I'll try the carrot "hotdogs".

  • @deecee4246
    @deecee4246 8 років тому

    Not crazy, wonderful! When I was a veggie, BLTs were what I missed the most. You are so clever with your recipes...vegan carrot hotdogs and now this wonderful bacon idea (for those who are sensitive to soy, as I am, there is a good soy substitute, which someone suggested I use for the hotdogs when I make them.) So don't let that stop you.

    I am not vegan, nor do I ever intend to go vegan, but I am always looking for yummy healthy recipes to try and this looks awesome! I do believe that everyone should try to eat as healthy as possible, and I love how your videos promote healthy living without you coming across as preachy. As an IBS sufferer I am really trying to find my trigger foods and clean up my diet. Although this disease will probably prevent me from going totally vegan, I do enjoy vegan cooking, and I love your videos. I am mostly dairy free, so your channel has been awesome for me. I made your sweet potato fritters the other day and my somewhat picky boyfriend absolutely loved them. I can't wait to try more of your recipes!

  • @elliem9923
    @elliem9923 8 років тому

    This recipe was great! Also I feel the need to point out that I hated mushrooms with a passion beforehand - the taste, texture, smell, everything - and this is the only way I'd be happy eating them. They crisp up really nicely and the marinade is so strong that the mushroom flavour is cancelled out. Just make sure you don't have your mushrooms swimming in the marinade otherwise they'll obviously stay soggy.

  • @naturesweety

      ABSOLUTELY!! It will gather all your thoughts and make you think in a clearer way. Watch "the best speech ever-Gary Yurofsky". Its been translated into just about every language :) Then make sure to watch: Cowspiracy (goes over mainly environmental reasons) Forks over knives (mainly talks health benefits) and also then watch Earthlings (talks mostly ethical reasons). Earthlings was VERY graphic just to warn you, but make yourself sit through it because it will change your views on the world completely!!

    question for ya, how do you get B12 in your diet as a vegan?

      You have to use a b12 supplement, or eat fortified foods like cereal everyday. Easier just to take the supplement under you tongue.There are some very reliable ones these days, and it is very inexpensive. Under $10 per year.

    I make tofu or tempeh bacon as I need that extra little protein due to medical issues. I have made eggplant bacon though.
