Grilled shiitake tacos with Le Gruyère AOP

Shiitake mushrooms are characterised by their very unique taste. Their full flavour – which is very fragrant and can be adapted to multiple recipes – comes out when sautéed or, as in this recipe, put on the griddle. With mushrooms in particular, sometimes the simple option is the best one. All you need to add is a little garlic, shallot and butter, and voilà! In this simple recipe, you’ll put a spin on a classic mayonnaise by adding a twist of chive oil. Enjoy an opportunity to get your fingers dirty with a meatless, yet breathtakingly flavourful taco! Simple is better when it comes to Le Gruyère AOP, too – in this dish, it’s added in large shavings, bringing out the flavour of the roasted shiitake.

Preparation

Grilled shiitake tacos with Le Gruyère AOP

  1. Chop the chives. Set aside 10 g for garnish.
  2. Mix the chives very thoroughly (but quickly to preserve their colour) with the neutral oil.
  3. Strain through a sieve to collect only the green oil.
  4. Make the mayonnaise with a hand blender, first blending the egg yolk with the mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper, then gradually adding in the oil. Season to taste and refrigerate.
  5. Using a peeler, grate shavings of Le Gruyère AOP.
  6. Thinly slice the shiitake mushrooms. Chop the shallot, garlic and fresh ginger.
  7. Melt the butter with the shallot, garlic and ginger. When the shallot, garlic and ginger are nicely browned, add the shiitake mushrooms and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until they are nicely browned and tender. Deglaze with soy sauce and, if necessary, a little water.
  8. Heat the tacos on the griddle, then serve the shiitake mushrooms with the mayonnaise, the Le Gruyère AOP shavings and some of the chopped chives.

Delicious to know

Corn tortillas are both light and flavourful, but feel free to substitute them for wheat tortillas if you prefer. The same goes for mushrooms: if you have another favourite variety, consider mixing it in with the shiitake mushrooms or modifying the recipe to suit your taste.
