Oyster Mushroom Tacos

This recipe is inspired by an appetizer at one of my favorite vegan restaurants, True Bistro, located in Somerville, MA. This simple dish reminds me of a seafood taco. At times I’ve thought about eating seafood again but when I think about the condition of the oceans and how the oceans are overfished I immediately get that thought out of my head.

Oyster mushrooms are an amazing seafood replacement, they remind me of clams. This simple dish is great for an appetizer or a quick lunch!!!
