Oyster Mushroom Po' Boy
Roasted Cauliflower
We picked up some gorgeous Oyster Mushrooms Friday so we made Po' Boys with cole slaw and a side of roasted cauliflower and hot sauce. Lots of hot sauce.
We used our usual three-pan method:
Pan 1: Seasoned flour (about 1/2 cup, with salt, pepper, smoked paprika to taste)
Pan 2: Cornstarch Slurry (1 tbs. cornstarch and 3 tbs. water, more if it stars to seize up)
Pan 3: Equal amounts of bread crumbs and cornmeal (about 1/2 cup each), nooch and a little thyme and pepper.
We tossed the mushrooms briefly with a splash of tamari, then into pan 1 until coated, straight into pan 2 until wet, then pan 3 tossed and pressed lightly into the nooks and crannies of the mushrooms to evenly coat.
After that, they were deep-fried in Peanut oil at 365F, until the bubbling has stopped -- about 3-4 minutes.
Served on a flatbread with cole slaw and hot sauce.
