Ingredients:
2 tbsp rapeseed oil
300 g oyster mushrooms
Black bean mole:
2 tsp rapeseed oil
2 shallots, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely grated
1 tsp mild chilli powder, e.g. piment d’Espelette
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground coriander
400 g cooked black beans
50 g dark chocolate, grated
1 tsp vegetable stock powder
1 tbsp diced tomatoes
Roasted kale:
120 g kale or cavolo nero
4 small garlic cloves
50 ml rapeseed oil
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method:
- 
Begin with the black bean mole.
- 
Heat the oil in a frying pan at medium to high heat, add onions and garlic and fry stirring frequently until softened.
- 
Add the spices and stir, then add the black beans with the grated chocolate, vegetable stock and tomatoes.
- 
Cook, stirring frequently for about 10-15 minutes to reduce it to a thick sauce.
- 
Preheat the oven to 120°C.
- 
Cut off the stem of the kale if it is thick and woody (this can vary from one sort to another, and depending on maturity, but as a rule it should be removed).
- 
Put the kale leaves and garlic on a baking tray and drizzle oil over them.
- 
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- 
Roast in the middle of the oven for 20 minutes.
- 
Take the roasted leaves out of the oven and transfer to a wire rack with baking parchment underneath to catch any excess oil.
- 
Peel the oyster mushrooms into ½ cm strips.
- 
Put a frying pan on high heat and add some oil.
- 
When it starts to smoke add the mushrooms.
- 
Fry them for 10-15 minutes until they are crisp and golden.
- 
Put aside and clean out the frying pan.
- 
Put the frying pan back on high heat and fry the tortillas on each side for a couple of minutes to get colour and soften
- 
Spread one tablespoon of black bean mole on each tortilla.
- 
Place some kale and mushrooms on top.
- 
Serve with 6 tortillas, finely chopped chives and MIDSUMMER® HOT SALT
