Equipment
- 1 Oven (optional)
- 1 Air Fryer (optional)
- 1 Deep Fat Fryer (optional)
- Kitchen paper (If you have a food cleaning brush, use this)
- 1 Knife (Or garlic mincer)
Ingredients
- 9 Mushrooms
- 3 Garlic Cloves (Mashed)
- 1 tbsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Dried Parsley
- 70 g Flour (All purpose/plain)
- 5 g Parmesan Cheese (Grated)
- 100 g Panko Breadcrumbs (Blend if you prefer smaller crumbs)
- 2 large Eggs
- Salt
- Black Pepper
- Vegetable or Sunflower Oil (If Deep Frying, use 3 Liters)
- 1 tbsp Paprika (optional)
- 4 tbsp Mayo
Instructions
- Use a kitchen paper sheet, dampen and clean the mushrooms. Adding them directly under the water to clean will cause them to absorb too much water, reducing the taste.
- For each mushroom, if the stem is dirty or older looking, just remove it slightly. Having the stem present helps to grab them with tongs or by hand.
- Set up a dunking station of three bowels:- One for the flour, one for the egg and the last for the breadcrumbs.
- Add two mashed garlic cloves to the egg and mix.
- To the breadcrumbs, add the garlic powder, salt, black pepper and the grated parmesan cheese and paprika. Mix.
- Take one mushroom and dip it into the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Dip this into the egg wash using the other hand to coat it. Again, shake off any excess.
- Dip it into the breadcrumbs and use the dry hand to cover.
- Again, shake off any excess and repeat the egg and breadcrumb steps to get a double coating.
- Place onto a plate and repeat for the remaining mushrooms.
Oven Cooked
- Place the mushrooms onto a baking tray.
- Spray some oil on to the mushrooms and bake for 18mins until golden at 200C.
Air Fryer
- Preheat the air fryer at 200C for 5mins and then add the mushrooms.
- Spray some oil on to the mushrooms and air fry for 7-8mins until golden.
Deep Fat Fryer
- Add to the oil once up to temperature (180C), and fry for around 5-6mins or until nicely golden. I normally fry in batches of 6.
Garlic Dip
- Add the mayo to a ramekin, add the remaining mashed garlic clove along with 1/2 tsp of parsley and mix
