subheading: Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted walnuts, soaked in lukewarm water for 20 minutes

⅓ cup diced yellow onion

4 garlic cloves, finely minced

⅓ + ¼ cup water, divided⁣

10 ounces baby Bella (or mushroom of choice) mushrooms, washed

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1 tablespoon chili powder

½ tablespoon tomato paste

½ tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon liquid smoke (optional but recommended)

¼ cup finely chopped cilantro

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh lime juice, as desired

Soak walnuts in lukewarm water for 20 minutes to soften. Drain and set aside.

In a medium nonstick pan over medium heat, add the onions and garlic along with 2 to 3 tablespoons of water. Cook, stirring often, until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add 2 to 3 more tablespoons of water as needed to prevent burning. You can also use oil instead if you would like.

Add the walnuts and mushrooms to a food processor and pulse until they have broken down into a “meat crumble”-like texture. Add them to the pan along with the remaining ingredients and 1/4 additional cup of water, and mix everything together until well combined. Cook the mixture for 8 minutes, or until it beings to brown and the mushrooms soften. If you would like it more moist, add a few additional tablespoons of water as desired.

Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper as desired. You can mix the lime juice and cilantro through the mixture if you like (we love it).
