This retro classic would be a perfect date night appetiser.
Ingredients
1 large king oyster mushroom
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp liquid smoke
2 tsp juice from a can of beetroot. Optional, just for a bit of pink colour.
-
50g Launceston Blue cashew cheese
8 medjool dates, stones removed
Directions
Combine the soy sauce, maple syrup liquid smoke and beetroot juice in a flat dish.
Thinly slice the king oyster mushrooms lengthwise. I used a vegetable peeler to get nice thin slices. You will need 8 slices for this recipe.
Add the slices to the marinade while you are preparing the dates. Flip them over once.
Fill the date cavity with blue cheese, close over the slit to seal the cheese inside.
Wrap the marinated bacon around the dates starting from the thinnest end, then thread onto skewers.
Place under grill at medium heat. Brush with remaining marinade. Watch very carefully. I put strips of foil over the ends of the dates as they were starting to burn.
