Beer Battered Mushrooms

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mushrooms

    Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems if desired. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer until the batter is smooth and somewhat thick.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot (around 350°F or 175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Mushrooms

    Dip the mushrooms into the batter, ensuring they are coated well, then carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the mushrooms with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with herbed tahini sauce, garnished with sliced green onions, a drizzle of local honey, toasted seeds, and a squeeze of lime juice.
