Instructions
Begin by cleaning the Portobello mushrooms with a damp paper towel and removing the stems. Chop them into small cubes, resembling the texture of finely chopped beef.
Peel and cube the roasted beets into small pieces similar in size to the chopped mushrooms.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped mushrooms, beets, capers, Dijon mustard, chopped shallot, cornichons, parsley, and chives.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the mushroom and beet mixture, tossing gently to coat everything evenly.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice, if needed.
To serve, arrange a small mound of the 'tartare' mixture on each plate, top with a handful of microgreens or arugula, and serve with toasted baguette slices on the side.
