Method

Prep & Roasting

  1. 1

    Preheat & Prep

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.

  2. 2

    Mushroom Prep

    Wipe clean the Portobello caps and remove any tough stems. In a small bowl, whisk 1 tablespoon olive oil with 3 minced garlic cloves and a pinch of salt and pepper. Brush this garlic oil over the gill-free side of each mushroom cap.

  3. 3

    Roast Mushrooms

    Roast the mushroom caps on the prepared sheet for 12-15 minutes, until tender and juicy.

Sautéed Vegetables

  1. 4

    Cook Veg

    While mushrooms roast, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  2. 5

    Add Aromatics

    Add red onion and both bell peppers; sauté 4-5 minutes until starting to caramelize.

  3. 6

    Finish Veg

    Add zucchini and snap peas; season with a pinch more salt and pepper. Cook 3-4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.

Mole Sauce

  1. 7

    Heat Mole

    In a small saucepan, gently warm the vegan mole sauce over low heat until just simmering. If thick, whisk in a tablespoon or two of water to reach a saucy consistency.

Finish & Plate

  1. 8

    Assemble

    Transfer the roasted portobello caps to serving plates.

  2. 9

    Sauce & Veg

    Spoon warm mole sauce over the mushrooms, then mound sautéed vegetables on the side.

  3. 10

    Garnish

    Drizzle lime juice over the dish. Garnish with chopped cilantro and avocado slices.
