Ingredients

•2 large King Oyster mushrooms, stems only, sliced into 1.5-inch rounds

•1 tbsp Shiro (white) miso paste

•1 tbsp Mirin

•2 drops liquid smoke

•1/2 head cauliflower, cut into small florets

•150ml full-fat coconut milk

•1 tsp high-quality white truffle oil

•1 tbsp capers, drained and patted dry

•2 tbsp grapeseed oil for searing

•1 handful micro-greens or pea shoots for garnish

Cooking Instructions

01
In a small pot, simmer cauliflower florets in coconut milk and a pinch of salt until tender, about 15 minutes.
02
Transfer cauliflower and a splash of the cooking liquid to a high-speed blender; add truffle oil and process until silky smooth. Pass through a fine-mesh sieve if necessary. Keep warm.
03
Score both flat sides of the mushroom rounds in a shallow crosshatch pattern. Whisk together miso, mirin, and liquid smoke; lightly brush the mixture onto the mushrooms.
04
Heat 1 tbsp grapeseed oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the mushroom 'scallops' for 3-4 minutes per side until deeply caramelized and golden brown.
05
In a separate small pan, flash-fry the capers in the remaining oil until they bloom and become crispy. Drain on paper towels.
06
To serve, spoon a generous pool of cauliflower silk onto the center of each plate. Arrange the mushroom scallops on top. Garnish with crispy capers and micro-greens.

The Caprese Salad Skewers recipe was a triumph! I prepared them for a party's barbecue and everyone loved them. The basil was so aromatic, the mozzarella so fresh, and the skewers were the perfect size and an appropriate.
