Guanylate in dried Shiitake has the effect of strengthening the other ingredients' Umami taste and creating a delicious flavor. This means you can reduce the usual amount of salt by a third. Boiling chickpeas increases their weight by around 2.2 times.

Common toppings:
pumpkin and sunflower seeds; pine kernels; olives.

Eaten with:
pitta bread; rye bread; vegetables; tortilla.

Zen monks found Forest-grown Shiitake is the best Umami enhancer for Vegan Cuisine more than 1000-years ago in Japan. The drying and rehydrating process of Shiitake produces "Guanylate," a natural Umami energizer. Guanylate amplifies the Umami taste of all foods.
Unlike Dried Porcini, Shiitake can enhance the Umami taste of your cooking without adding a mushroom flavor.

Tips and tricks:
Adding a little water to Shiitake powder and waiting 10 minutes before using, maximizes 3x the Umami Flavor! One dry Tbsp equals one pre-soaked tsp, the same Umami boosting power.

Cooking Instructions

60 mins
  1. 1

    Quickly wash the chickpeas and soak overnight in at least three times as much water as peas.

  2. 2

    Adding up to three times the amount of water, add the bay leaf and bring to the boil on a high heat. Then simmer on a low heat for about 30 minutes until the chickpeas are soft.

  3. 3

    Drain the chickpeas in a colander (cooked weight 300g). Set aside most of the water. Set aside a few chickpeas for garnishing later.

  4. 4

    Taking the dried Shiitake you have grated to a powder, add it to the water you boiled the chickpeas in.

  5. 5

    Blend the cooked chickpeas in a mixer for around two minutes until smooth.

  6. 6

    Add the chickpea water, tahini, garlic, and lemon juice, and blend for around one minute.

  7. 7

    While blending in the mixer, add olive oil little by little, and use the chickpea water to adjust consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste.

  8. 8

    Place in a dish and use the back of a spoon to create a swirl pattern. Garnish with the chickpeas you set aside earlier.

  9. 9

    To finish, add topping. Drizzle to taste with olive oil.
