Ingredients
  

  • 2 King Trumpet Mushrooms
  • 4 Garlic Cloves
  • 4 Fresh Thyme
  • 1/4 Whole Lemon wedge
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon All Purpose
  • 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder split into 1/2
  • 1/8 Teaspoon Paprika
  • Black Pepper to taste
  • Salt to taste
  • 4 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 3 Teaspoon Olive Oil
  • 1/2 Cup Veggie Broth or water

Instructions
 

  • Cut the top and bottom ends off your mushrooms. Now, slice each scallop into about 1.5 inch slices. Score each side of the mushroom slice so the flavor can properly penetrate.
    Toss the mushroom bits with 3 teaspoons of olive oil and 1/2 tsp of garlic powder and sprinkle of black pepper and salt. Let that sit aside for now.
  • Go ahead and heat up a pan with the olive oil and toss in the garlic and fresh thyme. Once that has sauteed for about 2 or so minutes, add in your king trumpet mushrooms and the dry seasoning. Allow each side to sautee and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until nice and golden brown. (Try not to crowd the mushroom in the pot so they cant sautee/fry properly)
    Once each side has browned, go ahead and add inthe veggie broth or water and lemon juice; cover and allow to cook for about another 5-7 minutes covered on medium low heat.
  • The vegan scallops are finished once each side is brown and the inside is nice and tender and soft on the inside. Enjoy with you side of choice and eat while warm!
