Breaded mushrooms with Garlic Dip


Would suggest 9 small (1 inch cap diameter) mushrooms per portion and a deep fat fryer really helps

  • small closed cap mushrooms
  • 100g flour
  • 2 eggs
  • tub breadcrumbs (I like ASDAs own) 
  • mayonnaise
  • 2 garlic cloves crushed or minced
  • salad for garnish
If using the deep fat fryer, switch on now to heat up.

Set out a flat bowl with the flour in it and add salt and pepper to it and mix together.  Next get a rounder cereal style bowl and crack the two eggs in it and mix with a fork.  Then get a large mixing bowl and pour the breadcrumbs into this.

First put the mushrooms into the flour bowl and coat.  Then put about 6 into the egg bowl and swirl around until coated with egg.  Using a slotted spoon remove them coated mushrooms from the egg bowl and put into the breadcrumbs, toss the mushrooms in the breadcrumbs until well coated all over.  If using the deep fat fryer, cook the mushrooms until just turning golden brown in the fryer in small batches and then lay on an oven tray.

If not using a deep fat fryer, just lay the coated mushrooms once the breadcrumbs have been added on an oven tray.

To make the garlic dip mix the crushed garlic cloves with 2 or 3 large dessertspoons of mayonnaise and put in fridge until needed.

When wanting to serve for dinner, preheat oven to 180 degrees and put mushrooms in.  If cooking ones made without a deep fat fryer, I would suggest cooking for 25 minutes until they go golden brown.  For ones started with a fryer, cook for 15 minutes until hot through.

Serve on plate with salad garnish.

Fish in Breadcrumbs

  • Pieces of fish loin without skin, either cod or haddock
  • 1 egg
  • 6 tablespoons plain flour
  • tub of breadcrumbs (ASDA do really nice ones on the shelves with the gravy granules)

Preheat oven to 200 degrees

Put the egg in a bowl, the flour on a plate and the breadcrumbs in a shallow roasting dish (lots of space)

Take each piece of fish and dip it in the egg. Then put it on the flour plate and coat both sides in flour. Then place in the breadcrumbs dish and press each side of the fish into the breadcrumbs so it has a good coating. Shake the fish gently to remove excess and lay on a greased baking tray.

Once all pieces are coated with breadcrumbs, cook in oven for 20mins, until starting to brown.
