FRIED MUSHROOMS

INGREDIENTS 

  • 500g of porcini or champignon mushrooms
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon of milk
  • 1 tuft of parsley fresh
  • 150g of breadcrumbs, preferably wholemeal
  • Salt and black pepper
  • Seed oil for frying

FRIED PORCINI MUSHROOMS

  • Clean the mushrooms leaving only a centimetre of stem and brush them to remove all traces of soil.
  • Slice them half a centimeter thick.
  • Beat the egg with the milk and pepper, better if freshly ground because it is more fragrant.
  • Chop with a knife or with a mezzaluna parsley after washing it under running water and dabbing it with a clean cloth.
  • Mix in a plate the parsley and breadcrumbs.
  • Pass the mushrooms one by one first in the egg and then in the breadcrumbs, pressing well from all sides to make the breading stick.
  • Heat plenty of seed oil in a small pan.
  • When is it very hot (Try throwing a crumb of breadcrumb mixture in there: it will have to come up quickly for the temperature to be right) dip the mushroom slices in it.
  • When the mushrooms are golden, remove them with a slotted spoon.
  • Place them on kitchen paper to dab off excess grease.
  • Salads on the surface and serve immediately.
  • Serve the fried mushrooms while they are still hot: they are suitable as appetizer with a glass of white wine, also to be served in a buffet lines standing perhaps threading each mushroom onto a long skewer. But I can constitute a second dish and why not even the whole dinner, if you accompany them with raw and cooked vegetables and some good rustic bread.
