Time 2h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

1 cup milk
2 large eggs
Vegetable oil, for frying
Mashed potatoes, for serving
Vegetarian Gravy, recipe follows, heated
4 extra-large portobello mushrooms, stemmed (do not remove gills)
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
Freshly ground black pepper
Sliced fresh chives or scallions, for garnish, optional
1 medium onion, quartered
2 stalks celery, roughly chopped
1 medium carrot, roughly chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Kosher salt
1 ounce dried shiitake mushrooms (about 1 heaping cup)
6 sprigs thyme
2 sun-dried tomatoes
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 dried bay leaf
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 fresh sage leaves
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack at the top of the oven, and preheat the broiler. Arrange the mushrooms on a baking sheet, and broil until the sides facing up begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Flip, and continue to broil until the sides facing up are soft, about 5 minutes more. Let cool.
  • Put the mushrooms, gill-side up, between 2 pieces of plastic wrap, and pound to about 1/4 inch thick with a meat mallet. Season all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Whisk together the milk and eggs in a separate shallow dish.
  • Lower the oven heat to 250 degrees F. Put a rack over a rimmed baking sheet. Heat about an inch of oil to 350 degrees F in a large cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  • While the oil heats, dredge each mushroom in the flour mixture to completely coat; shake off any excess. Then dip into the egg mixture until fully coated; let the excess drip off. Return the mushroom to the flour mixture, and dredge a second time, until completely coated, pressing firmly into the flour mixture. Arrange on one side of the rack on the baking sheet.
  • Add 2 of the breaded mushrooms to the hot oil, and cook, turning once, until crisp and golden, about 5 minutes total. Transfer the mushrooms to the unused side of the rack. When the oil comes back to temperature, repeat with the remaining 2 mushrooms and keep the first 2 warm in the oven.
  • Serve the mushroom steaks with mashed potatoes and generous spoonfuls of hot gravy. Garnish with chives or scallions if using.
  • Position an oven rack in the top position in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Toss the onions, celery, carrots and garlic with the oil and 1 teaspoon salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until the vegetables are charred in some places, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Bring the roasted vegetables, 1 cup water, mushrooms, thyme, sun-dried tomatoes, soy sauce, bay leaf and 1 teaspoon salt to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is gone, 8 to 10 minutes. Add 6 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and bring back to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and gently simmer until reduced by about one third, about 45 minutes. Strain the stock into a large liquid measuring cup, then squeeze all the liquid out of the solids with the back of a ladle (there should be about 4 cups of stock); discard the solids. (If not making gravy right away, let the stock cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month; warm slightly before making gravy.)
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the sage leaves to the butter, and stir for 30 seconds; remove the fried sage leaves, and set aside. Add the flour to the saucepan, and stir until smooth and lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Slowly pour in the warm stock while whisking constantly until smooth and thick, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Chop the fried sage, stir it and the parsley into the gravy and season to taste with pepper.

Provided by Mitch G.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 large portabella mushrooms
1/4 cup flour
2 eggs
1 tablespoon milk
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
3 cups deep frying oil

Steps:

  • Clean and remove stems from mushrooms. Slice into 1/2" thick strips.
  • Put flour in zip loc bag. Add mushroom slices (6-8 at a time) and shake to coat. Remove from bag and shake off excess flour.
  • Beat eggs and milk together in a bowl and dip each mushroom slice to coat.
  • Mix Panko crumbs, pepper, salt, garlic powder, and parmasan in a zip loc bag. Add mushrooms (again 6-8 at a time) and shake to coat.
  • Heat oil in deep fryer to 300 degrees. Fry mushroom strips in small batches until golden and crispy (turn after a couple of minutes). Can also be pan fried.
  • Drain and immediately salt to taste.
  • Serve with low fat Peppercorn Ranch dressing for dipping.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Mushrooms: Select large, firm portobello mushrooms with intact caps. They should be free of blemishes and have a deep brown color.
  • Clean the Mushrooms Properly: Gently wipe the mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any dirt or debris. Avoid rinsing them under running water, as this can make them soggy.
  • Remove the Stems: Carefully remove the stems from the mushrooms. You can use a sharp knife or a mushroom brush to do this.
  • Marinate the Mushrooms: Marinating the mushrooms in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices enhances their flavor. You can use a simple marinade or get creative with your favorite seasonings.
  • Use a Non-Stick Pan: A non-stick pan is ideal for frying portobello mushrooms as it prevents them from sticking and breaking.
  • Cook the Mushrooms Over Medium Heat: Cooking the mushrooms over medium heat allows them to cook evenly and develop a nice golden brown color.
  • Flip the Mushrooms Carefully: Use a spatula to carefully flip the mushrooms halfway through cooking to ensure even cooking on both sides.
  • Season the Mushrooms: Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper to taste just before serving.
  • Serve Immediately: Fried portobello mushrooms are best served immediately while they are still hot and crispy.
