Ingredients

  • 12 ounces mushrooms, sliced (I used cremini and shiitake)
  • 4 ounces firm tofu, diced into small cubes
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 sprig rosemary, leaves finely chopped
  • 2 sprigs thyme, leaves minced
  • 1 teaspoon miso
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Cut the parchment paper: Take one sheet of parchment (about the size of a full sheet tray), fold it in half and cut out the shape of half a heart so that when you unfold the paper, the cut out is heart-shaped (ooooh romantic!). Repeat with the other piece(s).
  • Combine the sliced mushrooms, tofu, garlic, rosemary, thyme, miso, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl and toss until mushrooms and tofu are evenly coated in the vinegar and oil.
  • Place one side of the heart-shaped paper on a baking sheet. Place half of the mushroom and tofu mixture onto the paper, towards the crease and trying to keep it as compact as possible. Place a thyme sprig on top if using. Fold the edge of the paper toward you tightly, starting at the top curve of the heart. After the first fold, take the next inch or so and fold it towards you again, overlapping the previous fold a little bit. Continue this process until you've sealed up the whole pocket.
  • Repeat the sealing process with remaining pockets/mushroom and tofu mixture. Place pockets on a baking sheet and put into the oven for 20 minutes. The packets should be quite puffed up. Snip them open with scissors carefully and serve.

Recipe Notes

  • Be careful when you snip the little packages open! Those pouches will be super steamy right out of the oven. 
  • Great video that breaks down the en papillote folding technique right here.
Mushrooms and tofu en papillote is a fun way to prepare and serve a flavourful vegan main. Little parcels of mushrooms and cubed tofu are baked with miso, garlic, and herbs.
