Episode 2: Meat substitutes

Mushroom bites n waffles

THis recipe is especially for those who can’t eat store-bought meat substitutes due to the gluten content. These gorgeous bites were made using oyster mushrooms, coated in my homemade fry mix. The waffles are oven-baked, made using buckwheat flour. Finish these waffles off with a drizzle of maple syrup and sprinkle of parsley. Everything is completely soy, gluten and wheat free and they’re super easy to make. And if you don’t have a waffle iron or mould, just make some pancakes!
