PAN-FRIED MUSHROOMS
By LACHELLE CUNNINGHAM
Ingredients
1 lbs Mushrooms (oyster, maitake, or lion’s mane) rinse, air dry and cut in half
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
½ cup flour
1-2 tablespoons
Cooking Oil, and more as needed
Preparation
- In a bowl, toss mushrooms with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of cajun seasoning.
- Allow the seasoned mushrooms to marinate for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile in a bowl, add the flour with ½teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of cajun seasoning, whisk it together.
- Add seasoned mushrooms to the bowl with the flour mixture, and toss until lightly and evenly coated (does not need to be caked in flour).
- Heat 1-2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pan, preferably a cast iron skillet.
- Before adding each mushroom to the pan make sure you shake off the excess flour. Fry the mushrooms on all sides in batches until golden brown (3-4 minutes per side), adding oil between batches as needed. Once the mushrooms are golden brown remove them from the pan and let them drain on a cooling rack or paper towels.
- Keep the fried mushrooms warm until you’re ready to serve.
