METHOD

  1. For ROMESCO: Heat 2 Tbsp. (30 mL) olive oil a medium pan over medium-high heat. Sear shallot halves, then add in Roma tomatoes, cut side down. Cook until shallots are soft, about 5 minutes.

  2. Add garlic, nuts, dried ancho chili, paprika, and bread. Add 2 Tbsp. (30 mL) to 1/4 cup (60 mL) water, enough for veggies to be mostly submerged. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook 5 to 7 minutes.

  3. Add mixture to blender with remaining olive oil, sherry vinegar and salt to taste. Blend on high until smooth. Season to taste and set aside. You will need 1 cup for this recipe. Refrigerate remaining for another use.

  4. For VEGETABLES AND FRUIT: Heat 2 Tbsp. (30 mL) olive oil in a cast iron pan or skillet on high heat. Sear the mushroom cut side down and apply gentle pressure carefully to remove excess liquid. Do this to all sides of the mushroom.

  5. While searing, grab a medium bowl and whisk together Hellmann's® Vegan Green Goddess Salad Dressing, lemon, minced garlic, paprika, salt and pepper.

  6. Reduce heat to medium. Season the mushroom with a bit of salt. Using a grill/pastry brush, generously brush the marinade over the mushroom – getting into each crevice. Repeat this process on all sides and angles of the mushroom to ensure it is properly glazed and will continue to sear.

  7. Remove the mushroom from the pan and season with a pinch of salt, then break the mushroom into 4 pieces.

  8. Time to plate! Add 1/2 cup (125 mL) romesco to the centre of each of 2 plates, followed by the mushroom pieces. Add tomato, corn and plum. Garnish with something bright and vivacious (I used anise hyssop from my garden). Finally, sprinkle with some flaky salt.
