GRILLED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS AND CAULIFLOWER STEAKS WITH MOLE NEGRO SAUCE

This is a nice way to enjoy mole negro sauce in a plant based manner! Use any vegetables that grill well, but I love this combination! Coat the vegetables with oil, then grill them to perfection. Serve them on hot mole sauce. Enjoy with fresh corn tortillas, as tacos, or with brown rice or some other whole grain.

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

For the vegetables:

4 large portobello mushrooms, stems removed

1 large cauliflower, cut into 4 “steaks”-  across the grain for a thick slice

1 red bell pepper, cut into thick strips

1 yellow bell pepper, cut into thick strips

2 ears fresh corn on the cob, cut into 8 rounds (or grill the ears whole) 

Sunflower or olive oil 

Sea salt, to taste

Fresh black pepper, to taste 

For the mole:

1 jar 12oz. ¡Ya Oaxaca! Mole Negro Sauce

METHOD

For the vegetables: 

Heat the charcoal or gas grill. 

In a large pan or bowl, coat all the veg with sunflower or olive oil, sea salt and fresh black pepper. 

Grill the vegetables slowly until tender. 

If you use whole corn cobs, slice off the grilled kernels and set aside. 

For the mole:

Heat the Mole Negro Sauce in a saucepan, adding a little water if needed to thin it out. 

Ladle about ⅓ cup hot sauce on each plate and arrange the vegetables on top.  If you've  cut the kernels off the cobs, sprinkle them over all. 

Serve with  tortillas or brown rice.

¡Buen Provecho!
