Chef Jordan Sclare of Chotto Matte loves starting a dinner experience with a simple canapé that looks so impressive, your guests will never know how easy it is to make. This king oyster mushroom and feta tostada recipe puts a vegetarian spin on a traditional pulled pork tostada.
“The key to this dish are the oyster mushrooms, which can taste similar to meat when cooked a certain way,” says chef Sclare. “Plus, the smokiness of the smoked paprika pairs well with many festive holiday drinks.”
