Recipe Description
We have these hearty pieces of king trumpet mushrooms. This type of mushrooms are best for pulled pork recipes. They shred really good. In this recipe we slice them thinly. In a hot cast iron pan with no oil we give it a good sear. We do this to achieve that nuttiness. We make a glaze of miso and Spiritless non alcoholic bourbon and vinegar. Feel free to create your own glaze keeping the balance of sour, salty and sweet. You would be surprised at the mixtures you can make.
Fonio, Kale and onions will be the best of this dish. This meal is nutrient dense using both Kale and Fonio.

What is Fonio?
Fonio is a gluten-free ancient African grain that’s good for you, for others, and the planet. Fonio is light + fluffy, and has a slightly nutty, earthy flavor. It soaks up spices and sauces beautifully, making it a perfect base to just about anything. – Yolele
