Vegan Hericium steak with red wine sauce and solar cooking

The Hericium vegan steak is a surprising dish that combines the texture and flavor of meat with plant-based ingredients. In this recipe, we will replace traditional steaks with Hericium, a mushroom with a delicate and fibrous taste.

We will add a red wine sauce and use a solar oven for sustainable and technological cooking.

Ingredients

• 200 g of fresh Hericium
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• 1 sprig of fresh rosemary
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

1. Clean the Hericium by removing any soil residues and cut into slices about 1 cm thick.
2. In a pan, heat the olive oil and add the minced garlic and rosemary.
3. Add the Hericium slices and cook over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden and crispy.
4. Salt and pepper to taste.

Red wine sauce

• 200 ml of red wine
• 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon of cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon of vegan butter

Procedure for making the sauce

1. In a small pot, combine the red wine and brown sugar. Bring to a boil and let reduce over medium heat until syrupy.
2. In a cup, mix the cornstarch with a little cold water and add to the sauce. Stir well until thickened.
3. Remove from heat and add the vegan butter, stirring until melted.

Solar cooking

1. Place the Hericium slices on a tray and cover with the red wine sauce.
