Mushroom Birria Base
Ingredients
1.5 Lbs Oyster mushrooms (more or less)
5 -6 dried Guajillo chiles
2 -3 dried Cascabel chiles
2 - 4 Arbol chile (optional for extra heat)
7 cloves garlic
1 medium onion, quartered
4 ripe tomatoes
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon black pepper corns
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3 -4 cloves
1 cinnamon stick
1 lemon, juiced
Salt to taste
3.5 cups vegetable broth
For the Tacos:
500g (about 1 pound) oyster mushrooms, shredded
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt to taste
Corn tortillas
Vegan cheese (optional)
Chopped onions, cilantro, and lime wedges for garnish
Instructions
Birria Sauce: Toast Chiles: Remove stems and seeds from the chiles. Toast them in a dry pan over medium heat until they start to puff up and release their aroma. Be careful not to burn them.
Reconstitute Chiles: Place the toasted chiles in a pot with boiling water for about 10 minutes until they soften.
Blend Sauce Ingredients: In a blender, combine the softened chiles, garlic, onion, tomato. Blend until smooth. Add left over liquid from soaking the chillies.
Simmer the Sauce: Pour the blended sauce into a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Adjust salt to taste.
Prepare the Oyster Mushrooms:
Cook Mushrooms: In a large oven safe pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add the oyster mushrooms and press a couple times on each side to sear and caramelize. Cook until they're nicely browned and reduced in size, about 10 minutes.
Mix with Sauce: Add enough birria sauce to the cooked mushrooms to coat them generously. Stir well and bring to a simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to absorb the flavors of the sauce. Then cover and pop in a 180C / 350F oven and cook an additional 45 mins. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Strain the mushrooms from the broth (save the broth) and separate according to which recipe you want to do.
Assemble the Tacos:
Mince mushrooms and sauté with diced onion
Heat Tortillas: dip the in the broth and warm the corn tortillas on a skillet
Spoon the mushroom mixture onto each tortilla. If using, sprinkle some vegan cheese on top.
Garnish with a side of broth with chopped onions and cilantro.
Lentils:
1 cup Green speckled lentils
3.5 cups broth/water
2 celery stalks, diced
2 carrots, diced
Teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
Bring lentils to a boil then lower to a medium simmer until cooked soft
Crispy Fried Birria ‘Chicken’ Mushrooms
INGREDIENTS:
Birria broth marinated Oyster Mushrooms
3 parts all-purpose flour and 1 part cornstarch (3 cups: 1 cup for one batch)
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Juice of 1 lemon
3 cups Plant-based milk
1 cup birria sauce (for dipping or tossing)
Instructions:
Dry Batter: In a bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Add the white pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Stir to combine evenly.
Wet Ingredients: plant-based milk, lemon juice, ½ cup Birria and mix together
Dip and Coat: Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C). Dip each mushroom piece into the batter, TWICE, allowing any excess to drip off.
Fry the Mushrooms: Carefully place the coated mushrooms into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can cause the mushrooms to stick together and not crisp up properly.
Fry the mushrooms until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes depending on their size.
Drain: Remove the mushrooms from the oil and let them drain on a wire rack or paper towels to remove excess oil. FRY TWICE
Serve: Serve the crispy fried mushrooms with a side of warm birria sauce for dipping, or toss them in the sauce for an extra flavor kick.

Hello, native Mexican here. FYI, not sure if it's mislabeled, but the chilis you had as "chile de arbol" were not those. Those were Chile Puya a hotter, smaller version of guajillo. Arbol is brighter red, thinner, hotter, and smaller. In any case, this recipe looks FRICKIN' amazing! A couple of drops of fresh lime in the consomme when served is the finishing touch. Will try today this today!. And LOVED to conversion of a chicken farm to a mushroom farm. ❤🐔

[@tinyjungle_]

Your chicken farm to mushroom farm activism is truly an amazing idea. People love to say vegans hate farmers but that's not the case. We love farmers and want to show them and encourage them and support them in converting to a more compassionate and possibly more profitable way.

Watching your channel, it makes me wonder why so many eateries can't even come up with one vegan option.

[@dutchgram3799]

I agree! Where I live if you want a vegetarian or vegan taco or burrito you get some lettuce, tomato and onion. That is IT! No lentils or mushrooms .....I won't give them my business.

[@anonamouse9198]

I’m allergic to oyster mushrooms, please please!!! I’m begging you to try this in a future video, it’s freakin’ awesome: get dried shitake mushrooms from an asian supermarket, soak in boiling water, remove stems & blitz in a food processor: best “mince” you’ll ever eat, better than lentils, better than ALL of the plant based-crumbles, MUCH better than fresh crimini/ portobello/chestnut/button mushrooms. Serious “meaty” texture & no spores to defeat my immune system. 👊🏻💨💨 Much love Derek 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻💚

[@danmur2797]

I like shitake mushrooms but they have a strong flavor. If I was making a vegan birria I might instead opt for jackfruit to give it that meaty beef texture.

[@reallivebluescat]

Perhaps try black trumpet-mushrooms/shantarelles?

[@lorraineyanez4301]

It looks delicious 😮. I'm vegetarian, so many Hispanics (I'm Hispanic ) couldn't understand how i could live without meat. Lol, I really love my pinto beans and rice.

[@DerekSarnoChef]

Love me some rice and beans!

[@joanramler7831]

I’m with you. Beans and rice! Absolutely love it.

[@renafielding945]

My Czech mama from Dime Box Texas felt the same way about pinto beans and rice. So I grew up on it.❤

[@danmur2797]

Its actually easy, especially if Mexican to be vegetarian. Hispanics also eat lentils, garbanzos/chickpeas, fava beans, green beans, etc. In Mexico they are usually cooked like pasta soups with a tomato, garlic, onion broth. And corn tortillas are also vegan. Cactus or nopal salad is super delicious. And soy chorizo was popular in Mexico before it was in the U.S. It might depend on what Hispanic country one comes from though. I know Argentines love their meat.

[@lorraineyanez4301]

@danmur2797 oh yeah I eat all of that .

[@iTZzGer]

I recently moved to the Irish countryside and met the most amazing mushroom farm, where I finally got some Lions mane. Used the techniques I learned from you and from the pictures i took everyone thought it was meat. It was far tastier!

Derek! All I have to say is.. wow!! I'm an aspiring plant based chef looking to take it up a notch and get professional, and your channel is literally amazing! All in one. Professionalism. Expertise. Creativity. Culinary Revolution. Innovation. Cruelty Free. Tradition. Health. Love in every single food you make. Wow! I see all of these chefs that call themselves the 'greatest' and all they know how to cook is either a filet mignon or lobster, always with the same same dishes over and over again on each and every menu. I'm looking for chefs that are innovative and ACTUALLY creative WITH FOOD (not animals) to inspire me. And I think I've found the right guy. You are revolutionising the culinary industry, one video at a time. And for that, I would like to say a big big thank you! Keep this going, Chef Sarno!
