Fried Mushrooms with Einkorn Flour
Ingredients
- 500 g oyster mushrooms
- ½ cup (60 g) All-Purpose Einkorn Flour
- ½ cup (65 g) rice flour
- Salt to taste
- About 24 oz of frying oil, depending on the size of the frying pan
Instructions
- Fill a pot with water and a pinch of salt, put to boil.
- In the meantime, wash the mushrooms and cut the end of the stems off. When the water reaches a rolling boil, blanch the mushrooms for two minutes.
- Drain the mushrooms and leave them to cool on the side, do not pat them dry. In a bowl, mix both flours and a small pinch of salt.
- Fill a frying pan with enough oil to allow the mushrooms to be deep-fried and place it on the heat.
- Roll the mushrooms in the flour mixture. Place one small piece of mushroom in the oil, so as to see when it reaches the right temperature. When the piece floats and has abundant bubbles around the oil is the right temperature, watch for excessive smoke and lower the flame slightly if needed.
- Place about 4 or 5 mushrooms in the oil at a time (they should not be too crowded). Let them fry until the bubbles diminish and the mushrooms are slightly browned and crispy (about 1-2 minutes).
- Remove the mushrooms from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels. Salt to taste and enjoy.
