Big Mountain Foods Plantbased Paprikash
Ingredients
- 16 ounces package Big Mountain Foods Lions Mane Crumble or Cauli Crumble Veggie Grounds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 12 ounces fresh mushrooms wiped clean and chopped small
- 1 small tomato chopped ((or 1/2 cup canned diced tomato)
- 1 tablespoon sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon caraway seed
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
- sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
- juice of 1 lemon
to garnish:
- additional chopped dill

Instructions
- In a skillet, preferably cast iron, heat oil over medium-high heat. When it starts to shimmer, add minced garlic and optional red pepper flakes. Give them a stir and let them dance around for a minute, releasing their fragrance. When garlic starts to soften and turn golden, add the fresh mushrooms.

Add chopped tomatoes, paprika, caraway and coriander. Stir in Big Mountain Foods Lion’s Mane Crumble or Cauli Crumble Veggie Grounds and combine
- Cook for another 5 minutes or so, letting flavors meld and the sauce thicken and reduce.

- Garnish as desired.
