Need a creative vegan appetizer board? Try this Mashed Potato Board using Shroomeats Mushroom Balls as the protein.
Servings: 4-6
Prep Time: 10-15 minutes
Cook Time: 20-30 minutes
What you need:
Shroomeats Mushroom Balls
1 box Shroomeats Mushroom Balls
1-2 tbsp Italian seasoning
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
Mashed Potatoes
2–3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 tsp salt
2 tsp ground black pepper
1 tbsp preferred butter
⅓ cup preferred milk
Gravy
1½ cups preferred milk
2 tsp marmite
Toppings
1½ cups fresh broccoli florets
½ cup cranberry sauce (we used store-bought)
Let’s get started:
- Make the Mashed Potatoes
- Bring a large pot of water to a rapid boil and add the potatoes. Boil for 10-15 minutes, or until fork tender. While the potatoes are cooking, move on to making the gravy.
- When the potatoes are done, drain the water, mash thoroughly, add butter and milk, and mix until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Make the Gravy
- In a saucepan on low heat, warm the milk stirring in marmite until well-combined. Adjust seasoning to taste and reduce on a low simmer to thicken, stirring occasionally.
- Heat the Shroomeats Balls
- In a pan on medium heat, add olive oil, Mushroom Balls, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Heat for 5-7 minutes, or until browned. Remove and set aside.
- Cook the Broccoli
- In the same pan, add the broccoli florets and sauté for 3 - 4 minutes, or until tender. Set aside.
- Assemble the Board
- Spread the mashed potatoes evenly across a serving board as the base layer.
- Arrange Mushroom Balls and broccoli on top.
- Drizzle with gravy and dollops of cranberry sauce.
- It’s time to dig in and enjoy your holiday gathering. Cheers!
