A delicious vegan gluten-free waffle topped with creamy mushrooms.

(serves 4)

Ingredients:
200g sweet potato, steamed or baked
125g gluten-free self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp sea salt
125ml soy milk
1 tbsp olive oil

For the mushrooms:
1 tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
½ onion, diced
250g button mushrooms, sliced
¼ tsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tbsp tamari soy sauce
Sea salt and black pepper
150g coconut yoghurt

Method:
First cook the mushrooms. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and add the garlic, onion and mushrooms. Sauté over a low heat for 5 minutes until the mushrooms begin to brown and soften.

Stir in the mustard, nutritional yeast flakes and soy sauce. Season to taste. Stir in the coconut yoghurt and heat through.

Preheat waffle iron. Place all of the ingredients into a food processor, blending until smooth and fully combined. Add a little more soy milk if needed to create a thick pourable batter.

Spoon batter into your preheated waffle iron and cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions.

Serve the waffles topped with the creamy mushrooms.
