Crumbed mushrooms tips
The crunchy golden brown coating is not only a delicious flavour enhancer, but also a welcome contrast to the mushrooms’ softer interior. Modify the recipe to your liking by adding spices like paprika or cayenne pepper. Put some salt and pepper in the flour. The dipping sauce is therefore everything. Light and tangy with a mayo and mustard sauce, it’s also delicious with blue cheese sauce, like you’d see on chicken wings.
When watching the South African Springboks play over the weekend, nothing beats a deep-fried snack. Make these crispy crumbed mushrooms!
