Crispy shiitake
Crispy shiitake mushrooms served with a fresh salad with greens, drizzled with lemon juice - a delight!
Every time I go shopping, something interesting catches my eye, something I haven't cooked before, and it just inspires me to create something new. That's how these shiitake mushrooms ended up in my kitchen. They have a very pleasant appearance, drier than popular champignon mushrooms and a more earthy taste.
I chose to make them liek this because it preserves their texture and shape better, only the crust gets browned while the mushrooms remain soft and flavorful. The freshness of the salad and the lemon juice squeezed over the mushrooms is the perfect combination. How great it would be if you could taste it through the pictures!
Portions: 4
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
500g shiitake mushrooms
1 cup flour
2 cups water
1 tablespoon oil
a pinch of salt
2 cups breadcrumbs
oil for frying
Method:
Wash the mushrooms and prepare the batter, which should have a consistency similar to pancake batter.
You can cut off the stems of the mushrooms to ensure even cooking.
Mix all the ingredients - flour, water, oil, and salt - until well combined.
Place the breadcrumbs in a bowl and prepare a few mushrooms, dipping them in the wet batter and then in the breadcrumbs.
Fry them in hot oil until golden brown on both sides. Add the mushrooms to a salad and the meal is ready.
Enjoy!
