1Prepare a marinade using beetroot juice, soy sauce, and a few other herbs and spices.
2Fry the lion's mane mushrooms to get some color.
3Once the mushrooms are nice and flat, cover them in the marinade and let them absorb the flavors.
4For the quick pickled red onion, combine 0.5 cup of apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon sugar, a handful of peppercorns, and 0.5 cup of boiling water.
5Stir the pickling liquid, pour it over sliced red onion, and smush to submerge.
6Prepare a homemade mayo with whole grain mustard and parsley.
7After the mushrooms are marinated, fry them one more time.
8Cut the fried mushrooms into strips.
9Load up the sandwich with mustard mayo, fresh rocket, mushroom steak chunks, pickled onions, fresh parsley, and crispy onions.
