We're loving the pulled mushroom trend at the moment. Chewy, sticky, and satisfyingly meaty without any of the meat, this recipe is so meaty we believe it could convince even the biggest of mushroom haters that these veggie heroes aren't so bad after all. Plus, they're fab for vegan BBQ guests. The speedy nature of this recipe makes it THE perfect dish to whip up for a weeknight dinner. We've used king oyster mushrooms as their meaty texture and thick stem make perfect pork-like shreds. But if you can't get your hands on this majestic fungi, you can use portobello mushrooms instead.
