-
4 Portobello mushrooms (one person)
-
½ cups all-purpose flour
-
2 tsp. garlic powder
-
2 Tbsp. dried oregano
-
¼ tsp pepper
-
1 tsp. salt
-
2 eggs
-
1 Tbsp. water
-
1 ½ cups panko breadcrumbs
-
½ cup vegetable oil & ¼ cup olibe oil combined (more might be needed depending on the size of your pan)
-
24 oz tomato sauce
-
Fresh Basil leaved (optional)
Directions
-
Mix together flour, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl and place in a shallow plate.
-
Whisk eggs and water together in a wide bowl
-
Place breadcrumbs in a large shallow plate or bowl.
-
Using a spoon, scrape the dark gills from each mushroom bottom. Rinse well and pat dry on a paper towel.
-
Cut each mushroom in half and cut down the center stem.
-
One at a time, dip each mushroom piece into the flour and lightly cover each side with flour.
-
Then dip the mushroom into the egg mixture, allowing the excess egg to drip off.
-
Then dredge into the breadcrumb mixture to coat.
-
Place breaded cutlets on a baking sheet to wait while oil is heating
-
Heat oil (vegetable & olive oil) in a large heavy skillet or electric pan. There should be enough oil in the pan for the cutlets to "swim".
-
When the oil is hot, place one or two cutlets in the skillet at a time, being careful not to crowd the cutlets.
-
Fry first side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Turn cutlets over with a spatula, being careful not to splatter hot oil.
-
Fry on the second side until golden brown.
-
Drain on paper towels.
-
If you have more cutlets to fry, then place finished cutlets in a piece of foil and keep warm in the oven at 250°F while you continue to fry up the rest of the cutlets.
-
Warm tomato sauce
-
In a medium or large pot, add Spaghetti to boiling water. Return to a rapid boil and cook spaghetti for 3 minutes (ala dente). Drain.
-
Divide spaghetti evenly between 4 plates. Top with warm tomato sauce.
-
Place 2 mushroom cutlet halves on top of each plate.
-
Decorate with fresh basil.
