Deep Fried Shrimp And Chanterelle Mushrooms Food

PEGGI'S DEEP FRIED MOREL MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• 1. Cut morels in half lengthwise & place in warm salt water to soak. This not only cleans & removes bugs & sand, but reconstitutes any that have dried some.
• 2. Mix all dry ingredients in large ziplock bag. Set aside.
• 3. Mix egg & milk in another bowl.
• 4. Take mushrooms out of water a few at a time & dip in egg mix, then in dry mix.
• 5. Shake off excess & drop in deep fryer that the oil is heated to about 325°- 350° or high heat. Fry on one side until dark, then flip & finish frying the other side.
• 6. Note: If you have a batter pro bowl for breading, that's what I use.
• 7. Drain on paper towel. They should be crisp & stay crisp.
• 8. * I recommend adding a little more cayenne if you like the zip in it. I can't do real hot any more. It's great either way.

DEEP FRIED SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a medium size mixing bowl combine shrimp, salt and pepper; stir.
• Heat oil in a medium size saucepan. In another medium size mixing bowl stir together eggs, flour and baking powder. Dredge shrimp in egg mixture then fry in oil until they are golden.

EASY CHANTERELLE MUSHROOMS IN CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a pan over medium heat and cook shallots until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add chanterelle mushrooms and cook an additional 2 minutes. Add cream and cook until mushrooms are soft, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Stir flour and water together and add to mushrooms. Bring to a boil. Season with salt, herbes de Provence, and pepper.

DEEP FRIED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the flour and garlic salt. Mix in egg and water until smooth.
• Heat the oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Test to see if oil is hot by frying a drop of batter. If it sizzles and floats to the top, the oil is ready.
• Dip mushrooms into the batter and then place in the hot oil. Fry a few at a time so they are not crowded, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

SHRIMP WITH CHANTERELLES

Steps:

• 1. In a skillet: Melt the butter with the garlic, thyme, and chives.
• 2. Add the wine. Cook about a minute or two to eliminate the alcohol.
• 3. Add the shrimp and chanterelles, and cook until the shrimp turn pink. About 5 minutes or less. Don't overcook the shrimp.
• 4. Sprinkle with a few drops of truffle oil before serving.
• 5. ALTERNATIVELY while you're getting ready for work (this is what I actually did this morning). Melt the butter with the garlic, thyme, chives and wine in the microwave for 1 minute. Put everything into an oven safe dish. Cover tightly and shake to coat. Turn the oven on to 375. (I used a little toaster oven, but just made a single serving) It's done in 10-15 minutes - about the time it takes to shower.
• 6. I steamed some green beans and grabbed a pre-made serving of brown jasmine rice from the freezer to go along with this. Then put it in a container, sprinkled the truffle oil and headed out the door. If I were to serve this for dinner, I'd serve it over some fragrant rice with green beans, which go well with the chanterelles.

DEEP FRIED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Wash the mushrooms and remove most of the stem.
• Pat mushrooms dry with a paper towel.
• Coat mushrooms with flour, lightly tap to remove excess flour.
• Dip in eggs.
• Coat with bread crumbs.
• Set on a rack for a few minutes, so batter sets/dries.
• Heat the oil in the deep fryer to 375 degrees. Pay close attention to grease while it heats. Cooking with oil at high heat levels can be dangerous!
• Deep fry mushrooms in batches for approximately 3- 4 minutes or until golden brown.
• Drain on paper towels and serve.

CREAMY BRAISED CHANTERELLES AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Clean the mushrooms: Fill the sink or a large bowl with cold water. Lay out some clean kitchen towels. Working with a few at a time, dunk the mushrooms in the water and gently swish to remove any dirt or debris. Shake off excess water and transfer to the towels to dry until excess water has been absorbed. Use your hands to tear any very large mushrooms into halves or quarters.
• In a medium-size heavy pot with a lid, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally. The mushrooms will first give off a lot of liquid and then it will begin to evaporate. Raise the heat as needed to keep the liquid at a fast boil.
• In a bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, sour cream and salt. When the liquid in the pot has mostly evaporated, stir in the cream mixture and bring to a simmer. Stir in the potatoes and return to a simmer. Partly cover the pot, and let simmer gently for 1 hour. Check and adjust the heat occasionally to make sure the mixture is simmering, not boiling.
• After 1 hour, test the potatoes. If they are still firm, keep simmering until they are just cooked through.
• When the potatoes are just cooked through, uncover the pot and raise the heat to a lively simmer. Cook until the braising liquid reduces and begins to caramelize, 10 to 20 minutes. It will turn golden brown and thick, like a cream sauce. Taste and add more salt if necessary. Toward the end, stir often to prevent the liquid at the bottom of the pot from scorching.
• Serve hot, mopping up the sauce with crusty bread, if desired.

CLASSY CHANTERELLE MUSHROOMS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and let cool. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add sage leaves and cook until crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Add potatoes to the pot; stir in mustard, olive oil, and thyme. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft and beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Add mushrooms and a pinch of salt; cook until mushrooms begin to crisp, about 5 minutes. Add wine to deglaze skillet.
• Add cooked potatoes to the skillet with the mushrooms and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving dish and top with crispy sage leaves.
