About this recipe

In Mexico, there is a famous dish called pork chops in salsa verde with peas. I’ve never been a fan of any meat, not even as a child. But I remember when they made this dish at home and served it on a bed of rice. I also remember asking for mine with no meat, just the sauce and peas ( la salsa verde). I still remember the rice flavored with the sauce; it was awesome.
Ingredients to make mushrooms in salsa verde
- Vegetable oil: I use avocado oil, but whatever you have works
- Sliced mushrooms, you can use white button mushrooms, cremini mushrooms, etc. The truth is, any type of mushroom works well in this vegan recipe, and oyster mushrooms would be delicious in this recipe.
- I add frozen peas in because the original recipe calls for them. They are perfect, but you could substitute them with potatoes.
- Salsa verde. Autehntic Mexican salsa verde. You can use any salsa verde that you want, bought or made at home. Obviously, I am of the idea that the best one is the one made at home for a thousand reasons, but if one day you are in a hurry, use the one you have on hand.
How to make these mushrooms in salsa verde
- Put the oil and mushrooms in a hot pan. When they are golden, add a pinch of salt. Do not add the salt until the mushrooms are golden brown, this will prevent them from releasing their liquid and making this dish very watery.
- While the mushrooms are browning, prepare the sauce, and the salsa verde.
- Then you add the sauce to the mushrooms, and lastly, you add the peas. Let it a season and that’s it.
🔥Important Tip🔥 An important point is that you should not salt the mushrooms until they are golden brown so that they do not release all the liquid. One of my teachers said that when the mushrooms start sqking at the bottom of the pot or pan, it means they are ready for seasoning.
