Recipe | Crumbed mushrooms with sherry cream sauce

Serves 4

1 cup panko crumbs

½ cup olive oil

chopped chives to garnish

Method

Remove the stalks from the mushrooms.

Put the flour, eggs and panko crumbs into three separate dishes. Dip the mushrooms in the flour, then into the egg mixture and finally into the panko crumbs.

Heat the oil in a frypan to a medium heat and fry the mushrooms until golden brown on both sides.

To make the sherry cream sauce, place the butter and garlic into a small saucepan and heat until the garlic starts to sizzle. Add the sherry and simmer until reduced by one third.

Add the cream and simmer until the sauce coats the back of a spoon and is nice and shiny. Season with the porcini powder, thyme and black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

Serve two mushrooms drizzled with the sauce per person. Sprinkle with chives.
