Replace your protein with mushrooms

The portobello mushroom will act as the main “protein”-based component of the meal, as they are super high in protein. And they are truly the perfect meat alternatives thanks to their meaty texture.

Portobello mushrooms are actually just mature button mushrooms with tons of flavour and health benefits. They are natural cancer fighters and protect the immune system. They can also act as natural anti-inflammatories and are full of antioxidants.

For this recipe, we’re keeping things simple as we’re just going to spice them with some salt and turmeric for that extra pop of flavour.

Top it off with Chakalaka

If you are not familiar with chakalaka, beware because this will most likely become your new favourite relish.

Chakalaka is a South African vegetable relish and can usually be a bit spicy. However, for this specific recipe, we decided to leave the spice out. This recipe is filled with healthy and flavourful ingredients such as onion, red and green pepper, carrot, tomato and chickpeas.

And as if this isn’t enough, the flavour and fragrance are enhanced by adding some cinnamon, ginger and chutney. This is such a versatile relish and great to make a large batch so that you can use it with other dishes too. Top the mushrooms and other sides off with this delicious relish and you’re good to dig in.
