There are a huge number of recipes, but we have selected for you the simplest and fastest to prepare, moreover, with a completely tasty result.
Mushroom chops with flour batter
This is the first and most common cooking option. A mix of wheat flour and chicken eggs will serve as a batter. A convenient and quick way to make ordinary mushrooms incredibly delicious.
Essential Ingredients
- 520 grams of mushrooms;
- three eggs;
- 110 grams of wheat flour;
- 80 ml of oil (refined);
- a pinch of salt;
- ground black pepper.
Features of cooking oyster mushroom in a batter of flour
For cooking, it is recommended to take mushrooms, which can boast of sufficiently large spreading hats. Such oyster mushrooms can be repelled easier and faster. The first thing to do is split the mushrooms. As you know, this species grows in families of several fungi. For cooking, you need one mushroom layer, so we are not lazy and we separate the mushroom parts from the common trunk.
Legs are recommended to be cut off. Wash and dry the mushrooms with a paper towel or dishcloth. Now we are armed with a hammer, because chops from oyster mushrooms will be prepared. We beat the mushrooms through the same towel. This process helps to cook oyster mushrooms faster, makes them more tender and juicy. In the process of beating, mushrooms should be blotted to remove all unnecessary juices. But remember, proceed with caution so as not to crush the mushrooms into small pieces that will no longer be suitable for cooking.
After that, each mushroom will need to be seasoned with salt, sprinkled with ground black pepper. You can use a mixture of freshly ground peppers to make oyster mushrooms in batter. They are mixed in advance with salt in a separate plate. Then sprinkle the mixture with mushrooms.
Batter
Pour the sifted flour into one plate. Another container will be occupied by well-beaten chicken eggs. Some housewives mix the ingredients of batter, making a homogeneous mass. Any option will do. If desired, you can add a little fresh or dried greens to your mass, as well as your favorite aromatic seasonings.
Frying
The next step in the recipe for oyster mushroom in batter is frying. While the batter was kneading, a frying pan was already on fire and heated. Everything is done in advance, since frying mushrooms is a quick matter that does not endure delay. Add oil to the preheated pan. Each mushroom is dipped in an egg, and then placed in flour. You can do this several times if you want the batter to be thicker, more saturated and crispy. Fry mushroom chops on each side for about a minute.
Oyster mushrooms can be served with any side dish. They will go well with buckwheat or mashed potatoes. A great substitute for meat chop.
Chops with garlic breadcrumbs with garlic
If you want something more piquant and crispy, then among the variety of recipes for oyster mushrooms, we chose garlic chops in a batter of breadcrumbs. For cooking, you can take purchased store crackers, or you can cook at home in the oven.
Grocery list
- 2 eggs;
- 80 ml of milk;
- 210 grams of fresh oyster mushrooms;
- 2 tablespoons of crushed crackers;
- a pinch of salt;
- butter;
- 2-3 cloves of garlic.
How to cook
As in the previous recipe for oyster mushrooms, we do the same with mushrooms in this embodiment. Wash them, separate, dry with a towel and beat off. Add a mixture of aromatic spices with salt.
In a separate container, mix chopped garlic wedges and chicken eggs. Well, beat the mass with the addition of milk. Pieces of yesterday's bread or loaf are cut into small cubes. We line the baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. We place on it blanks for crackers. We send to the oven for ten minutes (temperature from 190 - 210 degrees). After drying, grind the bread in a blender or coffee grinder. It turns out delicious homemade crackers for breading.
Pour oil into a well-heated frying pan, let it glow. Dip the oyster mushrooms chops into the egg mass, and then place them on a plate with crackers. We send to fry. It will be enough to hold oyster mushrooms in a pan in batter on each side for one minute. To remove excess fat, place the chops on a paper towel.
Creamy garlic or tomato-garlic sauce is perfect for such a dish. They love fried mushrooms and a large amount of fresh herbs. If you add a couple of fragrant parsley branches to the dish, you will only make it even tastier.
Mineral water batter
There is another simple and proven batter recipe for any meal. Oyster mushrooms are no exception. To prepare, take:
- 1 egg
- 40 ml of mineral water with gas;
- 20 grams of wheat flour;
- a pinch of salt;
- a spoonful of chopped fresh herbs;
- a mixture of peppers.
Mushrooms are processed before cooking in the same way as in the first two recipes: separated from the legs, washed, slightly dried, carefully beat off with a kitchen hammer. Then dip them in a “mineral” batter and fry them. Experienced housewives say that if you want to get an air batter with mouth-watering bubbles, then you should definitely add water and gas.
By the way, the above options for cooking batter can be used not only for recipes from oyster mushrooms, but also for cooking meat, poultry and even vegetable chops.
