Fried Portobello Poboys Recipes

FRIED FLUKE PO'BOYS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large, deep pot over medium heat until it reaches 375 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, seafood seasoning, baking soda and a pinch of salt. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and gently stir in the beer. Mix with a fork until just combined. Dip the fish fillets in the batter, coating the fish generously.
• Fry the fish: Start by dipping about one-third to one-half of a fillet into the oil and wait for the batter to start puffing before sliding the rest of the fillet in. Fry the battered fillets until golden brown and crispy, turning once, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels, blotting excess oil. Arrange the fish on a baking sheet lined with a cooling rack, and hold in the oven until serving.
• Slice the po'boy rolls lengthwise almost three-quarters of the way through and scoop out some of the insides. Schmear the rolls with tartar sauce. Add the fried fish and top with some lettuce, pickles, tomatoes and red onion. Slice the sandwich in half on the bias before serving.
• Combine the mayonnaise, shallots, cornichons, mustard, celery salt, cayenne and malt vinegar in a bowl. Season with salt, if needed. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

PORTOBELLO RECIPE - ROASTED MUSHROOMS WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 F. Clean the mushrooms. I like to rinse them with the gill side down, with a gentle water sprinkle on the top. Dry immediately with a paper towel. Many people worry that rinsing the mushrooms will water-log them. But for me, the fact that they grow on poo makes me want to give them a quick rinse. Or if you are cooler than me, just give them a wipe down with a dry paper towel.
• Pop off the stems and scrape the gills off the bottom the caps with a spoon.
• Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Cover a baking sheet with foil and arrange mushrooms in a single layer. Cook for 10 minutes.
• Flip mushrooms and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minutes.
• Slice mushrooms and drizzle just a bit of balsamic vinegar on top. If you are feeling wild, pour a small dish with additional vinegar for dipping.
• Enjoy!

EASY PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM SAUTE

Steps:

• Warm 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 1/2 tablespoons garlic flavored olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

FRIED PORTOBELLO PO'BOYS

Steps:

• Marinate the mushrooms: Whisk the buttermilk and 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning in a large bowl, then add the portobellos and toss to coat. Refrigerate for 4 hours.
• About 30 minutes before frying, make the slaw: Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, sugar, mustard seeds, garlic, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a bowl. Add the coleslaw mix, red cabbage and scallions; toss lightly. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Bread the mushrooms: Combine the flour, remaining 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning, the baking powder and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a large shallow dish. Remove the mushrooms from the buttermilk marinade and coat in the seasoned flour (you can also shake the mushrooms with the seasoned flour in a paper bag). Shake off any excess flour and transfer the breaded mushrooms to a large plate.
• Fill a large cast-iron skillet halfway with vegetable oil and fit the skillet with a deep-fry thermometer; heat the oil to 350˚ F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and set a rack on top.
• Add 6 to 8 mushroom slices to the hot oil and cook 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove to the rack. Repeat with the remaining mushrooms.
• Make the sandwiches: Lay the tomatoes and pickles on the bottoms of the bread, then top with the fried mushrooms, red onion and slaw. Close the sandwiches and cut each loaf in half.
