Recipe Directions
1. Start the pulled pork by cutting the mushrooms in half crosswise. Grate lengthwise either with a hand grater (large holes) or in your food processor using the grating plate. It will come out looking like grated mozzarella cheese.
2. Spread grated mushroom on dehydrator trays and dry for several hours until it’s paper weight and a little crunchy (I did it overnight.)
3. To make the barbecue sauce, combine the rest of the ingredients in a blender until smooth. Season to taste. If you don’t care for this recipe, any raw BBQ sauce recipe will do.
4. Add the sauce to the dried mushrooms and allow them to absorb the liquid for an hour or so. Eventually, the shredded mushroom will take on a very convincing barbecued pulled pork texture.
5. Optionally, spread raw, sprouted Dijon mustard on on a slice of bread, and pile "meat" on top of that.
Nanamensah's Thoughts
By nanamensah Trumpet Mushrooms are large, meaty, and tough. They shred lengthwise like string cheese. They’re perfect for creating a chewy, meat-like texture.
This tastes authentic. You could expand on this idea to make a convincing "carne asada."
Credit goes to Chris Carlton for the mushroom meat idea and to Renee Loux Underkoffler (Living Cuisine) for her Barbecue Sauce recipe.

Pulled "Pork"
Ok, I just made this (with a raw bbq sauce recipe found elsewhere) and it is crazy how much the mushrooms take on the personality of meat. It got stuck in my teeth the way pulled pork used to and the sauce ended up on my shirt! Awesome! Exactly how I remember it! Brilliant mushroom idea! I'm definitely going to play with this idea! Thanks for the recipe.

The original onion bread recipe posted on goneraw, based on Rawvolution's recipe but with waaay less nama shoyu. You could try it with any bread though.

Caleb, celery seed is commonly found in any supermarket, with all the herbs. You could also use a few tablespoons of diced celery instead. As for a good sub for trumpet mushrooms, maybe you could try grating button, portabelo or crimini mushrooms? I don't know what the effect would be but its worth a shot.

I live in a rural area and don't have ready access to trumpet mushrooms, and I wanted something I could possibly grow in my garden for this recipe. I decided to try eggplant. I peeled it, sliced it about 1/8" thick, and dehydrated it in my dehydrator. Then when I want "pulled pork", I just tear it into shreds and marinate it in a good raw barbeque sauce for several hours or overnight. It was delicious! Try serving it with cole slaw on the side......

name of the recipe threw me off.
I was at first like yuck when I saw the title.
Then happy to see it had no pork in it.

randommara, They sell coconuts for anywhere between $6 and $9 for a box of 9, depending on how fast they need to move them. Check each coconut to make sure the bottom isn't squishy, though. I also buy seaweed, miso, and other fun Asian stuff there. Here's the address:
99 Ranch Market
7330 Clairemont Mesa Blvd
San Diego, CA 92111
Where in East County? We might be moving to Santee in a month! Raw potluck, anyone?

I don't think you'd be able to get the shredded/pulled effect with any other type of mushroom. But the flavor would be there! But then again, I've never tried grating button mushrooms. Try it! I get my trumpet mushrooms at the big Asian Supermarket here in San Diego.
