Description

A plant-based illusion with silky elegance and deep umami.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 8 large king oyster mushrooms, sliced into 1-inch thick rounds
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 head cauliflower, chopped into florets
  • 2 tbsp truffle oil
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss mushroom rounds with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
  2. Meanwhile, steam cauliflower florets until very tender, about 10 minutes. Drain well.
  3. In a food processor, blend steamed cauliflower with truffle oil, almond milk, nutritional yeast, and garlic powder until smooth and creamy.
  4. Spoon cauliflower puree onto plates, creating a cloud-like base. Top with roasted mushroom “scallops” and garnish with fresh parsley.
