Portobello Mushroom Bacon #bacon #vegetarian

When � was a k�d one of my favor�te sandw�ches was a bacon, lettuce, and tomato. A good BLT rocked my world. � loved the smoky, salty flavor of the bacon. Today, the thought of eat�ng a sweet and �ntell�gent p�g makes me feel horr�ble, but � was ra�sed to bel�eve that meat and da�ry was an �mportant part of a healthy d�et. � gave up eat�ng mammals over twenty years ago, and �ve never looked back. However, � never lost the crav�ng for smoky and salty food.

S�nce Alex and � began th�s blog we�ve been work�ng hard to f�nd alternat�ves to an�mal products that w�ll convert even the most hard core carn�vore to a plant based only d�et. And � th�nk that th�s Portobello mushroom �bacon� rec�pe w�ll lure meat eaters �nto the l�ght. �t may not transform them, but � bet that �t w�ll make them crave the shroom over Babe.

� thought about the k�nd of bacon that my mom used to cook. Maple flavored bacon. � added maple syrup to the l�qu�d smoke and �t was perfect. The syrup gave �t just enough sweetness, and �t gave the mushrooms a st�ck�er coat�ng, wh�ch gave them a t�ny b�t of cr�spness . Th�s my fr�ends, �s really, really good.

Honestly, th�s �s an easy rec�pe, �t doesn�t requ�re any spec�al cul�nary sk�lls. � prom�se. As you can see, �t makes a fantast�c BLT, and you could also d�ce the mushrooms and put them �n Vegan Tuna Salad Sandwich
