Mushroom bruschetta is a perfect Sunday Brunch recipe. This is a quick meal idea that is a healthy vegan recipe. Also a great lo-carb vegetarian recipe

• Total Time: 20 minutes
• Yield: 5
• Serving Size: 5

Ingredients

• 2 cups of cremini mushrooms
• 1/2 cup red onions.
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 2 Tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
• 1 Tbsp of pomegranate balsamic vinaigrette
• 1/2 tsp of salt or adjust to your taste
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 Tbsp of oregano
• 5 slices of french bread
• 1 tsp of olive oil to oil the bread
• 1 tsp of non-pareil capers
• Cilantro for garnish

Instructions

1. Cut 2 cups of mushrooms in long, thin slices (I went with cremini mushrooms). I don’t use the stems. Do the same for the red onions (1/2 cup). Cut cherry tomatoes (1 cup) into 4 equal pieces
2. In a pan, add 2 Tbsp of extra virgin olive oil. Heat at medium heat for 30 seconds
3. Add the red onions and stir until they are beginning to caramelize. Add the mushrooms and stir
4. Stir until the mushrooms are soft and begin to get crisp
5. Add the cherry tomatoes and stir. Cook for about 2 minutes. The idea is not to over cook the tomatoes
6. Add the 1 Tbsp of pomegranate balsamic vinaigrette at this point and stir. Cook for 30 more seconds
7. Add 1/2 tsp of salt or adjust to your taste. I think 1/2 might have been too much because the capers added a nice saltiness to the recipe.
8. Now, add 2 cloves of garlic (cut into thin slices). I know it goes against the grain, but, no bruschetta is complete without prominent taste of garlic.
9. Add 1 Tbsp of oregano and stir. Turn of the heat and set it aside.
10. Toast 5 slices of french bread (Use this recipe for vegan french bread)
11. Lightly oil the bread and add the mushroom bruschetta mixture.
12. Add about 5 pieces of capers to each bruschetta
13. Top with cilantro. You can add a tsp of extra virgin olive oil on top, but, I don’t recommend it. I think this recipe has the perfect amount of oil.
14. Serve immediately
