LOGAN'S ROADHOUSE FRIED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Pour oil into a large saucepan or deep fryer to a depth of 3 to 4 inches. Heat the oil to 350 degrees.
• Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel. If these stems are very large (greater than 3/4 inch), trim off the stem, as they may be woody. If the mushrooms are small, there is no need to trim off the stem.
• Combine the flour with the salt and pepper in a bowl. Stir to combine the flour mixture.
• Combine buttermilk and water in another bowl
• Dredge the mushrooms in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess, and then dip them in the buttermilk.
• Dredge them in the flour again. Knock off the excess flour.
• Lower the mushrooms gently into the hot oil, cook them until they are golden brown. It will take about 2 to 3 minutes for the mushrooms to cook. Drain on a wire rack. Serve with your favorite sauce.

MICHAEL'S BEST BUTTON MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the oil over high heat. Add the mushrooms. Do not move the mushrooms until they have caramelized on the bottom. If you toss them too soon, they will release their liquid and begin to steam. When the bottoms are caramelized, toss them and continue to cook for about 5 minutes.
• Add the butter. Cook and toss for 5 minutes, until beautifully browned.
• Season with salt and add the garlic. Saute another 2 minutes, and add the thyme, lemon juice, and white wine. Cook to evaporate the liquid.
• Toss in the parsley and serve immediately.

FRIED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Whisk 1 egg with 1/4 cup milk and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce; season with salt and pepper. Mix 1 cup panko with 1/4 cup chopped parsley and the zest of 1/2 lemon; season with salt and pepper. Dip 3 quartered portobello caps (gills scraped out) in the egg and dredge in the panko. Shallow-fry in olive oil until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Sprinkle with salt. Serve with lemon wedges.

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.
