Mushroom Fries

INGREDIENTS

• 5 substantial portobello mushrooms
• 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
• A half-cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup of parmigiano-reggiano cheese, finely grated
• 2 teaspoons of freshly cut parsley leaves, minced finely
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
• freshly ground black pepper and salt
• 3 lightly beaten eggs

DIRECTIONS

1. The oil should be pre-heated to 350 degrees F.

2. Trim the margins of the mushrooms and remove the gills and stems from the bottom. Make strips of 1/4 inch wide.

3. In a pie plate, add the flour. Combine panko, Parmigiano, parsley, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a different pie dish or bowl.

4. Put the mushrooms through a flour, egg wash, and panko dredging process.

5. The breaded mushroom slices should be added to the hot oil in batches and fried for 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown. Drain on a sheet tray covered with paper towels.

6. Serve hot and enjoy!
