Oyster mushroom burgers, pulled pork style

• Easy - 10 Min

INGREDIENTS (2 BURGERS)

• 175 g Borde preserved oyster mushrooms
• Olive oil
• 1 shallot
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon cane sugar
• 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
• 75 ml water
• Salt and pepper
• Butter
• 2 burger buns
• Salad leaves
• 1 red onion

PREPARATION

1. Drain the oyster mushrooms and rinse them. Shred them with a fork to create long strands, like pulled pork.
2. Heat some olive oil in a frying pan and fry the finely chopped shallot until golden.
3. Add the shredded oyster mushrooms. Fry them until they have released all their moisture and are thoroughly cooked.
4. Add the smoked paprika, cane sugar and the barbecue sauce diluted with water.
5. Cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring regularly. The sauce should coat the mushrooms well. Set aside.
6. In another frying pan, melt some butter and brown the burger buns. Spread some barbecue sauce on the buns.
7. Assembling the burgers: add the piping hot shredded oyster mushrooms. Add a lettuce leaf and the red onion, sliced into rings. Add the top bun.
8. Serve with a green salad or homemade chips.
9. Tip: for an even more indulgent treat, add some melted cheese – such as Cheddar, Emmental or Comté – and other raw vegetables of your choice.
