Vegan balsamic mushrooms and avocado on toast

15 min

If you’re looking for a way to add some real flavour to your veggies, then balsamic mushrooms on avocado toast are a must. This dish is not only extremely filling and tasty, it will also incorporate two of your 5-a-day.

Ingredients

  • 450g white mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Sea salt
  • 1 tbsp almond butter
  • 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 2 slices thick sourdough bread
  • 1 small avocado

Method

Start by slicing your mushrooms and adding them to a frying pan with a drop of oil and some sea salt on a medium-low heat.
Cook your mushrooms for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mushrooms have released their natural water content.
Combine balsamic, almond butter and thyme in a small bowl, mixing together to form a liquid sauce.
Turn the heat up to medium-high and pour the mixture into the pan, stirring until the liquid thickens and the mushrooms are golden.
Whilst the sauce and mushrooms are cooking, toast your slices of sourdough bread and mash your avocado.
Spread your avocado on the toast and top with your balsamic mushrooms, before sprinkling with extra sea salt.
