BBQ King Oyster Mushroom and Maple Ribs
Featuring Pure Maple Syrup
2 portions

Ingredients

FOR THE BBQ SAUCE

  • 450g tomato passata
  • 70g pure Canadian maple syrup (preferably amber syrup for its rich taste)
  • 2 tbsp pomegranate molasses
  • 2 tbsp maple vinegar
  • 3 tbsp vegan Worcestershire sauce
  • 2.5 tbsp liquid smoke
  • 1.5 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder

FOR THE RIBS

  • 6 king oyster mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Method

TO MAKE THE BBQ SAUCE

  1. In a blender, mix together all of the sauce ingredients
  2. Pour into a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook for a 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally
  3. Set aside

TO MAKE THE RIBS

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C
  2. Clean your mushrooms and then cut the caps/heads off the king oyster mushrooms, reserve these for another use
  3. In a bowl, coat the mushrooms with some of the BBQ sauce. The longer they marinate, the more flavour they will absorb, leave them for a minimum of 15 minutes
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan or cast iron skillet over medium heat, place the mushrooms in the pan and put another warmed heavy pan/skillet on top, so that the mushrooms are in between the two pans
  5. Press the top pan firmly using a tea towel (be careful not to burn yourself) to flatten and sear the mushrooms. Fry for around 30 seconds on each side, using tongs to turn
  6. Line a baking tray with foil and brush with oil. Add the mushrooms to the tray and drizzle some of the remaining BBQ sauce on top. Wrap the foil over the mushrooms to form a parcel
  7. Put the baking tray into the oven and roast for 30 minutes
  8. Remove the tray from the oven and pour over the remaining BBQ sauce and cook in the oven for a further 20 minutes
  9. Serve and enjoy!

Using king oyster mushrooms instead of meat makes this delicious BBQ rib recipe 100% vegan, while adding amber maple syrup adds a rich flavour.

More about maple

The colour and flavour of maple syrup changes in subtle ways during the seasonal harvest

At the start of the sugaring season, the syrup is generally clear, with a light, sweet taste. It becomes darker with a caramelised flavour as the season progresses throughout the spring.

An unopened can of maple syrup keeps for many years

Once the can is opened, syrup should be kept in an airtight container in a cool place.

Maple spread doesn't contain any butter or dairy products

Like all 100% pure maple products, maple spread comes from the sap of the maple tree — that’s all.
