Portobello Mushroom Schnitzel Recipes

PORTOBELLO SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• Whisk together the eggs and milk and pour into a large, shallow bowl. Place the bread crumbs on a plate. One at a time, dip the mushrooms into the egg mixture, making sure that they are thoroughly coated, and dredge the mushrooms in the bread crumbs until they are completely covered. Transfer the mushrooms to a clean platter.
• In a medium skillet, add 1 1/2 cups olive oil and set over high heat. When the oil is very hot, fry the mushrooms one at a time until golden, 3 to 4 minutes a side, lowering the heat if they cook too quickly. Drain on a rack or paper towels. Sprinkle them with salt on both sides, transfer to a platter and keep warm.
• Pour out the oil and return the pan to medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan along with the lemon juice, capers and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Whisk in the butter and parsley. Pour the sauce over the mushrooms and serve.

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Put the mushroom caps gill-side up on a baking sheet. Broil until they release their juices, about 7 minutes. Flip the mushrooms, brush the tops with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and broil until lightly browned and the juices have cooked off, 7 to 10 more minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice the cabbage and onion. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage, onion, caraway seeds and ½ teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the cabbage is crisp-tender, about 7 minutes. Add the vinegar and 2 tablespoons water and cook until reduced, 7 more minutes. Stir in the parsley; season with salt and pepper.
• While the cabbage cooks, heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly beat the eggs with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a shallow bowl. Put the flour and breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls. Press the mushrooms with paper towels to flatten and absorb any liquid. Coat in the flour, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs. Fry in batches until browned and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Serve with the cabbage and applesauce.
