Ok, now you may proceed! :)
Ingredients:
- 2 large portobello mushrooms
- 1 cup spelt flour
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon papaya pepper
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 cup hemp milk (or any approved plant-based milk)
- Grapeseed oil or Avocado Oil for frying
Instructions:
-
Prepare the mushrooms: Clean the portobello mushrooms and remove the stems. Slice each mushroom into thick slices, resembling chicken breast pieces.
-
Create the alkaline soak: In a large bowl, prepare an alkaline soak by mixing 1 quart of water with 2 tablespoons of sea salt. Submerge the mushroom slices in the alkaline soak and let them sit for 1 hour. This helps to tenderize the mushrooms and gives them a texture similar to chicken.
-
Prepare the breading mixture: In a shallow dish, combine the spelt flour, sea salt, papaya pepper, paprika, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, and dried basil. Mix well to incorporate all the spices evenly.
-
Set up a dredging station: In another shallow dish, pour the hemp milk.
-
Bread the mushrooms: Remove the mushroom slices from the alkaline soak and pat them dry with paper towels. Dip each mushroom slice into the hemp milk, ensuring it's well coated, then dredge it in the spelt flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the flour to the mushrooms. Place the breaded mushroom slices on a plate or wire rack.
-
Heat the oil: In a large skillet or frying pan, heat grapeseed or avocado oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You'll want enough oil to submerge the mushroom slices halfway.
-
Fry the mushrooms: Carefully place the breaded mushroom slices into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the mushrooms in batches if necessary. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
-
Drain and serve: Once the mushrooms are cooked to perfection, use a slotted spoon or tongs to transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve the fried alkaline "chicken" mushrooms hot with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside your favorite side dishes.
