Walnut Taco Meat

Ingredients:

2 cups raw walnuts

2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cumin

2 tablespoon soy sauce or more as needed

1 tablespoon olive oil

5 oz. shiitake mushrooms diced (or lentils)

½ teaspoon salt plus more to taste

Directions:

Add walnuts, paprika, garlic, and cumin to your food processor then pulse for 5 seconds. With the motor still running, pour the soy sauce in through the top and pulse until mixture resembles meat (be careful not to over-mix -- the mixture should come together in 20 seconds or so).

Next, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium, then add the mushrooms and salt and sauté for 3-5 minutes until the mushrooms are soft. Then, add the walnut mixture to the skillet and stir to combine until the walnuts are warm. Add more salt to taste and enjoy!
