Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Turn on your slow cooker to high
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferable non-stick) over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil
Peel and chop half your red onion[s] into wedges (save the rest for later!)
Once hot, add your Fable pulled mushrooms and the onion wedges and cook for 3-4 min or until slightly charred
Boil half a kettle
Cut your green chilli[es] in half lengthways, deseed (scrape the seeds out with a teaspoon) and chop finely
Chop your tomato[es] finely
Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic
Once the mushrooms and onion are slightly charred, transfer the contents of your pan to the slow cooker
Add half the chopped chilli (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) with half the chopped garlic and half the chopped tomato (you'll use the rest later!)
Add your tomato paste and ground smoked paprika with your ground coriander, dried oregano, vegetable stock mix and 100ml [130ml] [150ml] boiled water
Give everything a good mix up, season with a generous pinch of salt and cook on high for 4 hours
Once the seasoned mushrooms are ready, give everything a good mix up and shred the pulled mushrooms apart, using two forks – this is your spiced Fable mushroom mix
While the mushrooms are cooking, drain your sweetcorn
Peel and finely dice the remaining onion
Cut your lime[s] in half
Combine the juice of half the lime[s] with your mayo – this is your lime mayo
Combine the drained sweetcorn with the remaining chopped garlic and the remaining chopped tomato in a medium bowl
Add the diced onion and remaining chopped chilli (not a fan of spice? Just add a little!) with the juice of 1/4 of the lime[s] and 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] sugar
Add a drizzle of olive oil, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, give everything a good mix up and refrigerate until serving – this is your corn salsa
Once the spiced Fable mushroom mix is ready, add your tortillas to a plate and pop in the microwave for 20 secs on high or until warmed through
Chop the remaining lime into 1 wedge per person
Load up the warmed tortillas with the spiced Fable mushroom mix and the corn salsa – these are your Fable mushroom carnitas-style tacos
Drizzle over the lime mayo and garnish with a lime wedge
Enjoy!
