Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mushrooms

    Clean the portobello mushrooms and remove the stems. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Breading Station

    Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs mixed with milk, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan.

  3. 3

    Bread the Mushrooms

    Dredge each mushroom in flour, dip into the egg mixture, and then coat with the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Cook the Mushrooms

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded mushrooms for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Veal Jus

    In a small saucepan, heat veal stock over medium heat until warmed. Add chopped fresh basil and diced tomato. Stir to combine and let simmer for 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Arugula Salad

    In a bowl, toss arugula with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.

  7. 7

    Serve

    On a plate, arrange the fried portobello mushrooms, drizzle with veal jus, and serve alongside the arugula salad.
