Deep Fried Mushroom Caps Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Prepare the Filling

   In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add chopped mushroom stems and cook until softened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

2. 2

   Mix the Filling

   In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onion and mushroom mixture with crumbled chorizo and cream cheese. Mix until well combined.

3. 3

   Fill the Mushroom Caps

   Take each mushroom cap and fill it generously with the chorizo filling. Set aside.

4. 4

   Prepare for Frying

   In one bowl, place flour seasoned with salt and pepper. In another bowl, place breadcrumbs. Dredge each filled mushroom cap in flour, then dip in a bit of heavy cream, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

5. 5

   Heat the Oil

   In a deep pot, heat oil to 350°F (175°C) for frying.

6. 6

   Fry the Mushroom Caps

   Carefully place the coated mushroom caps in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
