Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Cremini mushrooms
- 100 grams Whole wheat flour
- 50 grams Cornmeal
- 1 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoons Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Clean the cremini mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth or paper towel. Trim the ends if necessary.
In a shallow bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, cornmeal, ground cumin, ground coriander, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs lightly.
Dip each mushroom into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, and then roll them in the flour and cornmeal mixture, coating them evenly.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Fry the coated mushrooms in the hot oil, turning occasionally, until they are golden and crispy, about 7-10 minutes.
Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Sprinkle the fried mushrooms with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the mushrooms.
