Mushroom Nuggets

  • 12-14oz oyster mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup vital wheat gluten
  • 2 tsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp minced onion
  • 1/2 tsp rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp thyme
  • 1/2 tsp rubbed sage
  • 1 tsp paparika
  • 3 Tbsp aquafaba (liquid from canned garbanzo beans)
  • 1.5 tsp vegetable bouillon paste
  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil
  • grapeseed oil for frying

Wet Batter

  • 1 + 1/4 cups creamy oat milk (or plant milk of choice)
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 tsp paparika
  • 2 tsp minced onion
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • to taste salt & pepper

Dry Batter

  • 1.5 cups panko bread crumbs
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp paparika
  • 2 tsp minced onion
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • to taste salt & pepper

Directions

  • If needed, clean mushrooms with a small brush to remove any dirt
  • Cook mushrooms in a cast iron pan for 5 minutes, flip, and cook until all the water is gone. Take your time. Pressing down on them while cooking will help release the water
  • Add mushrooms to a food processor and blend until you have small, finely chopped pieces
  • In a mixing bowl, combine vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, garlic, onion, rosemary, thyme, sage, and paprika. Stir until well incorporated. Then mix in the mushrooms
  • In another bowl, mix aquafaba, vegetable bullion, and avocado oil
  • Slowly add the liquid into the dry mushroom mix. Continue to stir the mixture for 4-5 minutes with your hands. Place in refrigerator for 15-20 minutes
  • Form nuggets with mushroom mixture. TIP: If the mix is too wet and does not stick, add vital wheat gluten, a small amount at a time
  • Mix ingredients for wet batter
  • Mix ingredients for dry batter
  • Dip nuggets into wet batter and then dry batter
  • Heat frying oil to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (I prefer to use grapeseed oil). Fry nuggets in small batches until golden & crispy on both sides
  • Serve with sauce of choice and enjoy! I love these with my Smoked Anaheim Pepper Sauce.
