- 2 lbs large white button or king oyster mushrooms
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup Sweet Rub
- 1/2 cup Pinot Noir BBQ Sauce
- 1 pack soft slider buns
- 1/2 cup Smoked Pickled Onions
- 1 cup prepared coleslaw
Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the smoker to 225°F using applewood or oakwood.
-
Step 2.
Clean any dirt off the mushrooms with a moist paper towel, leaving the stems on.
-
Step 3.
On a large baking sheet, toss the mushrooms with 1/4 cup of the olive oil and the Sweet Rub until evenly coated.
-
Step 4.
Place the baking sheet in the smoker and smoke for 1 hour, or until the mushrooms are soft and slightly browned.
-
Step 5.
Remove the mushrooms from the smoker and let cool enough to handle.
-
Step 6.
Using your hands, remove the stems from the caps. Squeeze out and discard any liquid that has pooled inside the caps to prevent a slimy texture.
-
Step 7.
Using two forks, shred both the caps and stems as you would shred chicken.
-
Step 8.
In a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the shredded mushrooms. Cook for 5 minutes, moving them minimally to allow crisping. If not crispy after 5 minutes, cook another 3 to 4 minutes, tossing only once or twice, until you see some crispiness develop.
-
Step 9.
Add the Pinot Noir BBQ Sauce, stir to combine, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes to caramelize the sauce. Remove from heat.
-
Step 10.
Serve the pulled mushrooms on soft slider buns topped with Smoked Pickled Onions and coleslaw. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the top and serve warm.
