Vegan Portobello Bacon on a flowery ‘Salate Miste’

Slowly the season for colorful lushious salads is over. We have created this dish a few weeks ago to be honest. Other then the salad and the edible flowers  – The mushroom bacon is always in season.

What i love about this dish is the lushious and romantic beauty of it. The sweetness of the fresh figs compliments the savory crunshy, saltiness of the protobello bacon and together just make an amazing side dish

We are always up to experiment with all different kinds of vegan alternatives. So also check out our cassava bacon recipe here.

Compared to the Portpbello bacon, the cassava version was by far more crispy which was mostly due to the fact that it was fried. Nevertheless, we also are looking forward to make some eggplant as well as parsnip and ricepaper bacon and give you our opinion.
