This simple, no-oil balsamic dressing is the perfect marinade for mushrooms. Slice them in strips and once pliable, skewer and grill. Serve your skewers with a drizzle of dressing or brush with your favorite pesto to finish.
Chef's notes
This versatile dressing and/or marinade can be made in advance, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Steps
1
Preparing the Dressing
Ingredients
1/2 cup aged balsamic vinegar, (high quality preferred)
3 tbsp low-sodium tamari
3 tbsp Date Paste or maple syrup
1/2 tbsp onion granules
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1 1/2 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)
fresh herbs of choice (rosemary, oregano, chives), minced
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
First, prepare your mise en place, including the Date Paste. See the recipe here: Fruit Paste. Alternatively, you could another sweetener of your choice.
In a small bowl, whisk all ingredients together well. If using a container such as a jar, pour all ingredients into the container, close with a lid and shake vigorously.
Use as a delicious dressing, or pour over cooked potatoes with fresh basil and sliced roasted peppers for a delicious side dish.
