Portabella Mushroom Fries Recipes

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM FRIES

Steps:

• Cut mushrooms into ~1/2 inch wide strips. Don't worry about the pieces being uniform.
• Prepare your coating. Take out 3 bowls. Add the panko breadcrumbs to one bowl. Next, add the flour, onion salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to the second bowl. Lastly, add the eggs to the third bowl and whisk.
• Take a mushroom piece and dip it into the flour mixture, then the eggs, and lastly the panko. Repeat the process for all of the mushroom pieces.
• Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with paper towels. Set aside.
• Heat vegetable oil in a cast iron pan or dutch oven to 370 degrees F. Make sure the vegetable oil comes up 2 inches in the pan. Adjust the oil to the pan you are using.
• Fry each mushroom for 30 seconds to 1 minute until the outside is golden and the inside is cooked. Fry in batches, so you don't crowd the pan. Once cooked, place mushroom fries onto the prepared baking sheet. The paper towels will drain excess oil.
• Garnish with minced parsley, and serve with dip of choice. I chose to serve it with sriracha mayo and ketchup.

PORTABELLA MUSHROOM FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan over medium high to high heat.
• Scrape the gills off the underside of portobello mushroom caps with a spoon.
• Brush caps gently with a damp cloth to clean them.
• Drizzle caps with oil to keep them from sticking to the grill pan and season the caps with steak spice or salt and black pepper.
• Grill mushrooms 3 or 4 minutes on each side under a loose tin foil tent until just tender.
• Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes.
• Slice grilled caps into 1/2-inch strips.
• Turn strips in egg, then coat in mixture of parsley, bread crumbs and cheese. Cook "fries" over medium high heat in enough extra-virgin olive oil to coat a nonstick skillet in a thin layer, about 1/4 cup.
• "Fries" will brown in 2 or 3 minutes on each side.

PORTABELLA FRIES WITH GARLIC AIOLI

Steps:

• In small bowl, mix garlic aioli ingredients; set aside.
• In deep fat fryer or 12-inch skillet, heat 2 to 3 inches oil to 375°F or over medium heat.
• In large bowl, beat egg, milk, flour and steak seasoning with whisk. In another large bowl, add bread crumbs. Add sliced mushrooms to batter, and toss well to coat evenly. Then add mushroom slices 1 at a time to bread crumbs, and coat well. Fry mushroom slices in hot oil 3 to 4 minutes, turning once, until deep golden brown.
• Drain mushrooms on paper towels or on cooling rack. Serve warm with garlic aioli as a dipping sauce.

FRIED PORTABELLA MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Toss crumbs with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a bowl and spread on a large plate.
• Lightly beat eggs in a bowl. Dip mushroom slices 3 or 4 at a time into egg, letting excess drip off, then transfer to bread crumbs, pressing mushroom slices into crumbs to help adhere and turning to coat. (Coating will be uneven.) Transfer to a tray.
• Heat about 1 inch oil in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat until it registers 350°F on thermometer. Fry mushrooms in batches of 7 or 8, turning over occasionally, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per batch, returning oil to 350°F between batches. Transfer mushrooms with a slotted spoon as fried to paper towels to drain. Season with salt and serve warm.
