Mushroom Étouffée
Savor the flavors of the American South with Rosieʼs Mushroom Étouffée, a plant-based twist on a classic dish. This comforting recipe begins with a base of avocado oil and organic einkorn wheat flour, creating a traditional roux. The essential “holy trinity” of Cajun cooking — green bell peppers, white onions, and celery — brings bold, foundational flavors, while a mix of spices such as paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and a touch of cayenne pepper adds depth and warmth. Enriched with tomato paste, kelp granules, and vegetable broth, the sauce beautifully coats the hearty mushrooms, delivering a rich umami experience. Garnished with green onions, fresh parsley, and a splash of Louisiana hot sauce, this étouffée offers the ideal kick of heat in a nourishing and satisfying plant-based meal.
