Lions' Mane Bites
These little lion's mane bites are the best fried
mushroom recipe ever. You may not be able stop after just a few pieces! Serve
as an appetizer, side dish, or you can also use these cooked lions mane
mushrooms in stir fry instead of chicken. Serves 4 appetizers. Prep Time 10
minutes. Cook Time 15 minutes.
In one bowl, mix together the egg and the milk. In
another bowl, combine the flour with all the dried seasonings—paprika through
onion powder, and mix well.
Dip one slice of lion's mane mushroom into the egg mixture, then dredge it in the flour mixture. Set aside on a large plate or a cutting board. Continue until about all the mushrooms are dipped and dredged.
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1-2
tablespoons oil to the skillet, and swirl it around. Place the dredged mushroom
slices into the skillet, taking care not to crowd the pan. Lower the heat to
low and tilt the pan around a little to spread the oil around. Cook for 3-4
minutes per side, taking care not to burn the mushrooms.
Carefully remove the fried mushrooms from the skillet and place on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
Wipe down the skillet with a clean paper towel (use tongs to hold the paper towel so you don't burn your hand!!), and repeat steps 3-4 until the mushrooms are all cooked.
Mix together ketchup + mayo (or use your favorite dip)
and serve warm.
