Scallops with garlic butter.

Made these as a side dish cooking for my beautiful friend Rhys and they were stunning. Only a small amount from six king oysters, so don't expect it to feed an army. Instead of kelp granules I crumbled dried seaweed, and also some dried shiitakes. Marinated for 24 hours. Next level.

Serves: 2-4 servings

Ingredients

AD
• 6 large king oyster mushrooms, sliced 1-inch thick
• 1 cup vegetable broth, hot
• 2 tbsp white miso
• 1 tbsp soy sauce or gluten-free tamari
• 1-1/2 tsp seaweed or kelp granules
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Lemon Butter Sauce

• 3 tbsp vegan butter
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 lemon, juiced
• Sea salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. With a vegetable brush, remove any dirt or debris from mushrooms and slice off the woody ends and mushrooms caps. Save the caps to use for another recipe like a stirfry.
AD
2. Slice the stems into 1 inch (2.5 cm) long pieces.
3. In a large mixing bowl or Tupperware, whisk together hot vegetable broth, white miso, soy sauce or gluten-free tamari, kelp, and olive oil. Whisk until the miso has dissolved in the hot broth.
4. Add the mushrooms and marinate for 15 mins to 2 hrs. Overnight is preferred.
5. After your mushrooms have marinated, melt 1 tbsp vegan butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
6. Working in batches, place marinated mushrooms, flat side down, and brown for 6-8 mins on each side. Set aside and keep warm.
7. You can save time by making the garlic butter sauce in a seperate pan at the same time as frying the mushrooms, or save on dishes by using the same pan once all your mushrooms have cooked and are set aside.
8. To make the garlic butter sauce, melt 2 tbsp vegan butter in the same skillet.
9. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
10. Stir in the lemon juice; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
11. Serve mushroom scallops in a bowl or serving dish and pour the garlic butter sauce.
12. Garnish with parsley.
13. Enjoy as appetizer or add to a vegan creamy pasta dish
