00:00:00.009 --> 00:00:02.140
We have been dreaming of mushroom

2
00:00:02.460 --> 00:00:07.420
birria since our last trip to Mexico where we had the most amazing mushroom birria

3
00:00:07.639 --> 00:00:11.840
tacos. So today we're going to recreate them first, we're going to prep our chile.

4
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:14.659
So you just have to remove the seeds and the stems.

5
00:00:14.670 --> 00:00:18.590
And we learned that we do this because this will prevent the sauce from being bitter.

6
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:21.819
And place those in a large pot with onions, garlic, tomatoes and

7
00:00:21.926 --> 00:00:26.475
water, bring that to a boil and simmer and reserve some of that cooking liquid.

8
00:00:26.486 --> 00:00:30.065
Drain that and transfer everything to a high speed blender.

9
00:00:30.076 --> 00:00:31.705
We're going to add some spices,

10
00:00:31.715 --> 00:00:35.085
apple cider vinegar and that reserved cooking liquid and

11
00:00:35.096 --> 00:00:37.425
blend everything until it is nice and smooth.

12
00:00:37.515 --> 00:00:42.886
Then transfer that to a pot with some bay leaves and broth and allow that to simmer.

13
00:00:42.895 --> 00:00:44.282
Once again, like mentioned,

14
00:00:44.291 --> 00:00:47.611
we're using mushrooms for the meat substitute of this recipe.

15
00:00:47.622 --> 00:00:51.062
And King oyster mushrooms in particular are great because they

16
00:00:51.071 --> 00:00:55.062
have a hearty meaty texture similar to shredded meat.

17
00:00:55.071 --> 00:00:58.122
So I just sauteed those down and added some of that sauce

18
00:00:58.131 --> 00:01:01.381
and we serve that in a corn tortilla with some cheese.

19
00:01:01.391 --> 00:01:05.662
These were just like I remembered and I hope you love them as much as we do.
