Directions

Preparing the Oven and Mushrooms:
Preheat your oven to 180°C. Arrange the Blue Oyster mushrooms on a baking tray. Drizzle them with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
Baking Mushrooms:
Place the tray in the oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and well-cooked.
Chickpea Mix:
While the mushrooms are baking, heat olive oil in a large pan on medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for 7-8 minutes until they're soft and turning golden brown. Introduce the crushed garlic and chopped red pepper, and continue to sauté for another 3-4 minutes.
Spicing It Up:
Sprinkle in smoked paprika and cumin seeds, stirring well to coat the onion mix. Next, add the remaining chickpea ingredients and mix thoroughly, letting them cook together for 2-3 minutes until the kale softens.
Creating the Dressing:
In a blender or food processor, combine all the dressing ingredients. Blitz until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
Assembly:
Once the mushrooms are baked, remove them from the oven. Generously top each mushroom with the spicy chickpea mixture. Drizzle the tahini dressing over the top for an added creamy texture.
