Add walnuts, paprika, garlic, and cumin to your food processor then pulse for 5 seconds. With the motor still running, pour the soy sauce in through the top and pulse until mixture resembles meat (be careful not to over-mix -- the mixture should come together in 20 seconds or so).
Next, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium, then add the mushrooms and salt and sauté for 3-5 minutes until the mushrooms are soft. Then, add the walnut mixture to the skillet and stir to combine until the walnuts are warm. Add more salt to taste and enjoy!
*Calories are per serving and are an estimation
*Make sure you only process the walnuts for a total of 15-20 seconds; if you over-process them, the texture won't be correct and they'll turn mushy when they're heated.
*Dice the mushrooms similarly to how you'd dice an onion.
*If you HATE mushrooms, you can substitute chickpeas or cooked lentils instead.
