Instructions
Barbecue Sauce
- Melt Flora Plant Butter in medium saucepan and cook onion and salt over medium heat 5 minutes or until softened. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Add tomato paste and smoked paprika and cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add bourbon and bring to a boil. Simmer 1 minute. Stir in remaining barbecue sauce ingredients and simmer 15 minutes or until mixture has thickened.
Mushrooms
- Melt Flora Plant Butter in large nonstick skillet and cook onion over medium heat 8 minutes or until tender. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally or until mushrooms are very tender.
- Stir in 1 cup barbecue sauce and 1/2 cup vegetable broth and simmer 5 minutes. If mixture is too thick, add additional vegetable broth. Stir in thyme.
- Serve mushrooms on buns with arugula and additional barbecue sauce.
Time saving Tip: When making the barbecue sauce, make a double batch and store in the refrigerator to use for another time. If you don't have time to make the barbecue sauce, you can use your favorite store-bought sauce.
We use a variety of mushrooms when we make this and we include varieties like oyster and shiitake. This helps to give the finished dish an earthy flavor and meaty texture.
