Vegan appetizers are the easiest one, except you need really good quality veggies because they are the main component of your dish.
Layers are always a hit if you want to make a fancy presentation. I use a cookie cutter of a small spring form for the shape. You’ll need one to give a beautiful shape to any of your layered presentations.
Wild mushrooms… I always have them in my fridge because they are perfect for any kind of dish: salad, appetizers, main, sides.. They are delicious either raw or cooked, seasoned with a dressing or just with olive oil. Mushrooms can be found all year long and are not that seasonal. However the tastier ones are in autumn!
I usually use shiitake. They are my husband’s favorite mushrooms and he likes when I cook them in almond oil with a little salt and pepper. Their texture is very dense and their taste is strong.
Oyster mushroom are also a good option. They have a vey particular texture and are more earthy than other mushrooms.
Finally, portobello is my go-to for mushrooms. Their flesh is meaty, the taste is not too strong and the texture is not viscous compared to some other mushrooms.
I decorated the dish with pine nuts and roasted peppers without the skin to add some color. You can also use heirloom tomatoes, fresh herbs, other nuts…
