King Oyster Mushroom Cioppino

The Italian-American cioppino stew traditionally made with fish is getting a plant-based makeover that is sure to satisfy!

King Oyster mushrooms, with their remarkably similar size and texture to scallops are seared and added to a hearty and fragrant, vegetable-rich and protein-packed, stew seasoned with lots of garlic and Old Bay.

Round out the meal with toasted ciabatta bread smeared with saffron aioli and a glass of crisp white wine for an easy, gourmet-quality meal at home!

Ingredients for King Oyster Mushroom Cioppino:

You will need:

  • king oyster mushrooms
  • vegan butter
  • olive oil
  • celery
  • yellow onion
  • garlic
  • can of garbanzo beans
  • fresh tomatoes
  • vegetable broth
  • Old Bay seasoning
  • lemon juice
  • sea salt
  • ground black pepper
  • parsley

How to make King Oyster Cioppino:

STEP ONE: Prep the mushrooms. Place mushroom rounds in a medium-size bowl filled with hot water. Soak 5 minutes then drain and pat dry.

STEP TWO: Cook the mushrooms. To a large skillet over medium-high heat, add vegan butter. When butter is melted, add mushrooms and cook 3-4 minutes, until browned. Flip and cook the other side another 3-4 minutes, until browned. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.

STEP THREE: To a large pot over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Add celery and onion and cook 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened. Add garlic and cook 1 minute.

STEP FOUR: Add garbanzo beans, Roma tomatoes, vegetable broth, and Old Bay seasoning. Reduce heat to low and simmer 15 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and 1 tablespoon chopped parsley.Adjust seasoning to taste with salt and ground black pepper.

To serve:

Ladle the cioppino into shallow bowls and top with the mushroom “scallops”. Sprinkle with remaining parsley.

What to Serve with King Oyster Mushroom Cioppino

Since this stew has a lot of robust flavors on its own, I find that a simple side of toasted ciabatta bread spread with homemade saffron aioli pairs nicely.

To make the saffron aioli:

In a small mixing bowl, stir together these four ingredients, and it’s ready to go:

  • 3 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon softened vegan butter
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • 1/8 teaspoon saffron threads.

Enjoy!

    Living overseas, I have had to adapt recipes for what I can find. I think I can find just about everything on this list, and it looks good. Just have to figure out what to replace the Old Bay seasoning with!

      That’s a tough one… I don’t know if there really is a replacement for Old Bay, at least not a blend. There are something like 12 spices in Old Bay and I’ve seen copycat recipes floating around online.

    This was super duper tasty. One complaint is that it was slightly salty. Totally adaptable to make less salty for us.

    This was a little difficult to follow along with. Like when do I put to tomato’s in?

    Hopefully it turns out decent, put our own twist with kale and subbed other seasonings for the old bay stuff.

    Hi Holly! So, looking forward to making the beautiful looking dish. Also, you have an awesome website.. Thank you for doing what you do! Read through the recipe, but don’t see where or how to use the Saffron Aioli?

      Hi Karen! Thank you so much! As noted right above the ingredients list, I like to spread the saffron aioli on toasted ciabatta bread as a nice side to the cioppino. I’ve just updated the post to make that more clear.😊
