      2 hours
    • Makes
      4 cups
    Author Notes

    On first inspection, there’s pretty much no food that could be less amenable to vegan interpretation than jerky. It’s just not possible. Right?

    Wrong—at least if you’re willing to have a somewhat roomy interpretation of what jerky is. These portobello mushroom slices, which are cooked at low oven temperatures until they dry out slightly and intensify in flavor, are a very good, very creative spin on the idea of jerky. You’ll have to give them a try for yourself before making any judgments!

    These mushrooms are great for snacking, but the way I really like to use them is stuffed into wraps, layered on sandwiches, or chopped and sprinkled onto salads. They add flavor and umami, and they’re an easy item to keep stored in the fridge for when you want to give dishes a bit of a kick. You’ll reach for them more often than you’d think.

    Word to the wise: The mushroom slices are good and salty. I offer 2 to 3 tablespoons of tamari here; I love salty flavor, so I usually use 3 tablespoons, but if you’d like a milder mushroom, simply try 2 instead.

    Once you make the slices, you can store them in a mason jar (or another airtight container) in the fridge, waiting to break them out as needed. An added bonus? The mushrooms will also work as a handy vegan substitute for bacon (so you may want to throw a bunch in your next tofu scramble). —Gena Hamshaw

    Vegan Mushroom “Jerky” (Slow-Roasted Mushroom Strips)

    Ingredients

    • 3 tablespoons

      apple cider vinegar


    • 2 tablespoons

      maple syrup


    • 2 tablespoons

      (or more) low-sodium tamari


    • 1 tablespoon

      extra-virgin olive oil


    • 1/2 teaspoon

      smoked paprika


    • 1/4 teaspoon

      ground chili powder


    • 4

      large or medium portobello mushroom caps, sliced into strips about ¼ inch thick

    Directions
    1. In a small bowl, whisk the vinegar, syrup, tamari, oil, paprika, and chili powder. Taste and add more tamari, if needed. Transfer to a rectangular, airtight container and add the mushroom slices. Marinate for at least 8 hours or up to overnight.
    2. Heat the oven to 250°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Arrange the mushrooms on the prepared sheets. Bake, flipping the mushrooms at the 1-hour mark, for 1½ to 2 hours, until shrunken, browned slightly, and dried out. They should have a chewy texture.
    3. Let cool completely before serving.
    4. Do Ahead: The mushrooms can be made 1 week ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

  • Shiso Slaw

    Shiso Slaw

    recipe image

    Shiso Slaw

    • Serves
      4, if you can find it in your heart to share this . . ..
    Author Notes

    I found inspiration for this at our Asian farmer’s market where, if you get there early enough, you can get just picked green shiso. As I was sniffing a torn leaf, I remembered an apple slaw I’d made with Thai basil. Thinking that perhaps the green shiso, which has almost a cinnamon flavor, would also do well with apples, I tested it by creating this crunchy salad. To my delight, it works! This takes almost no time to put together, but should be made an hour or two ahead of time to allow the flavors to come together. Also, be sure to use a hard, tart apple, not just for the crunch, but also to stand up to the bold flavor of the shiso. I like using the first Ginger Golds of the season for this; a Granny Smith will also do the trick. The Thai basil is optional, but I recommend just a hint of it, as it does make a difference. I sincerely hope you enjoy this. ;o) —AntoniaJames

    Ingredients

    • ½ of a medium napa cabbage, finely sliced


    • Pinch of salt


    • ¼ cup finely sliced green shiso leaves


    • 1-2 teaspoons chopped Thai basil (optional)


    • 1 large tart apple (I used a Granny Smith), cut into medium julienne (without peeling)


    • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar


    • 2 tablespoons organic mayonnaise (regular or vegan), or more to taste


    • Pinch of sugar


    • Salt and pepper to taste

    Directions
    1. In a large bowl, toss the cabbage with a pinch of salt.
    2. In a small bowl, toss the julienned apple with the vinegar.
    3. Reserving the vinegar, add the apple pieces to the bowl with the cabbage.
    4. Add the shiso, and Thai basil, if using, and toss well.
    5. Stir the sugar into the vinegar. Then, whisk the mayonnaise into the vinegar; pour over the salad. Toss well to combine. When you think you’’re done, keep going for another 10 or 12 strokes. It may not look like much dressing, but you really don’’t need a whole lot.
    6. Let it sit for at least an hour; then, toss the slaw well. Check for salt and pepper and correct, if necessary.

    7. Toss again before serving.
    8. I hope you try this, and like it. Yours affectionately, AntoniaJames ;o)

    See problem, solve problem. Ask questions; question answers. Disrupt, with kindness, courtesy and respect. ;o)

  • Vegan Migas (Mexican-Style Fried Tortillas With Tofu) Recipe

    Vegan Migas (Mexican-Style Fried Tortillas With Tofu) Recipe

    recipe image


    Messy and delicious, the way migas should be. .
    J. Kenji López-Alt

    Why It Works

    • Frying your own tortillas gives these migas great texture and flavor.
    • Tofu is a great stand-in for soft scrambled eggs, lending the dish a moist, custard-like texture.

    On weekends, I want something for breakfast that I can really dig into—something that wouldn’t feel out of place with a Bloody Mary or a michelada on the side. Enter vigas. That’d be vegan migas (and I’m only a little bit sorry for the terrible wordplay). Migas are the Tex-Mex dish of eggs scrambled with fried tortillas, onions, and chilies, served wrapped up in more soft corn tortillas. It’s a nearly ideal dish for veganizing because of the way the eggs are treated.

    • 2 medium plum tomatoes, diced (about 6 ounces; 170g)

    • Kosher salt

    • 8 corn tortillas, cut into 1 1/2- by 3/4-inch strips, plus more for serving

    • 1/4 cup (60ml) vegetable oil, divided

    • 1 medium yellow or white onion, finely chopped (about 8 ounces; 225g)

    • 1 poblano pepper, stemmed, seeded, and finely chopped (about 4 ounces; 120g)

    • 2 serrano chiles or 1 jalapeño, stemmed and finely chopped

    • 1/2 teaspoon (2g) paprika

    • Pinch ground cumin

    • 1 block soft or medium silken tofu, drained of excess water

    • 1/2 cup (120ml) homemade or store-bought salsa verde, plus more for serving

    • Handful cilantro leaves and tender stems, finely chopped

    • Freshly ground black pepper

    1. Toss tomatoes with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Transfer to a colander or fine-mesh strainer, set strainer over a bowl or the sink, and allow tomatoes to drain. Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons (45ml) vegetable oil in a large nonstick or cast iron skillet until shimmering. Add tortilla strips and cook, tossing and stirring frequently, until crisp, about 4 minutes total. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate.

    2. Return skillet to heat and add remaining 1 tablespoon (15ml) vegetable oil. Add onion, poblano, and serrano peppers and cook, stirring, until softened but not browned, about 4 minutes. Stir in paprika and cumin. Add tofu and break it up into large chunks. Stir in drained tomatoes, tortilla strips, and salsa. Cook, folding ingredients gently, until tortilla strips have absorbed moisture and softened and mixture has a tender, spoonable consistency that is not runny, about 4 minutes. Stir in cilantro and season to taste with salt and pepper.

    3. Serve immediately with warm tortillas and extra salsa for making tacos.

    Author Notes

    The ultimate summer breakfast treat, this coffee cake is studded with fresh peaches and topped with an irresistible nutty, sugary, and crumbly topping. It’s perfect for a sweet morning, but it’s also pretty great for dessert (especially if you top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream). —Gena Hamshaw

    • Test Kitchen-Approved
    Ingredients
    • For the coffee cake:

    • 1 cup

      almond milk


    • 1 teaspoon

      apple cider vinegar


    • 1/2 cup

      organic sugar


    • 1/3 cup

      melted coconut oil


    • 1 teaspoon

      vanilla extract


    • 1 1/4 cups

      unbleached, all-purpose flour


    • 1 teaspoon

      baking powder


    • 1 teaspoon

      baking soda


    • 1 teaspoon

      ground cinnamon


    • 1/4 teaspoon

      sea salt


    • 1 cup

      peeled, diced ripe peaches

    • For the crumble topping:

    • 3/4 cup

      unbleached, all-purpose flour


    • 1/3 cup

      packed organic brown sugar


    • 1/3 cup

      chopped walnuts


    • 1 teaspoon

      ground cinnamon


    • 1/2 teaspoon

      ground ginger


    • 1/8 teaspoon

      salt


    • 4 tablespoons

      coconut oil (melted or solid—either will work)

    Directions
    1. Preheat your oven to 350° F. Lightly oil an 8- or 9-inch square baking dish.
    2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, vigorously whisk together the apple cider vinegar and the almond milk until the mixture is frothy. Allow it to sit for a few moments. Mix in the sugar, coconut oil, and vanilla.
    3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until they’re just combined, adding a little more almond milk if necessary. Fold in the diced peaches and pour the batter into the baking dish.
    4. To make the crumble topping, place the flour, sugar, walnuts, cinnamon, ginger, and salt in a small mixing bowl. Work in the oil with your fingers, one tablespoon at a time. Continue working until large crumbs form (you may only need 4 tablespoons of oil, but it’s good to have 5 handy). If you like, you can also pulse the ingredients together in a food processor for this step.
    5. Distribute the crumble topping over the coffee cake. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is fragrant and toasty and a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
