Garlic Mushrooms Biancas Style

This dish is one which I have enjoyed for as far back as I can remember. A Restaurant overlooking the Marina in Gibraltar - the perfect spot for a warm summers evening accompanied with a crisp glass of Sauvignon Blanc... For years I had asked the staff, owners and chef for the recipe but the response was always the same -in short, No!.. Finally after years of testing, I have managed to perfect this dish to my own satisfaction. If your a lover of all things naughty, you'll love this Dish. It's not for the faint hearted but I'm sure you will not be disappointed.

Garlic Mushrooms Biancas Style
(Based on 2 people, double quantity if making for 4)

Ingredients
Cap Mushrooms, washed and patted dry (allow around 5 per person)
1/4 cup Plain Flour
1 Egg
1/4 cup breadcrumbs (packet and wholegrain is fine)
2 or 3 Cloves Garlic, crushed
2 Tablespoons Parsley, chopped
1/4 packet of Butter
1 small red chilli (if you like it firey, keep the seeds in!)
Vegetable Oil for Deep Frying
Salad
This can be made up with any of your favorite salad but here is what I like to use:
Cos Lettuce, a few leaves washed and cut up largist
1 Carrot, Grated
1/2 Red Onion, thinly sliced
Cherry Tomatoes - small handful
Thinly sliced red cabbage

Method
Have 3 plates laid out, one with the flour, one with a beaten egg and the third with the breadcrums. After washing the mushrooms, roll them in the flour, then dip into the beaten egg and finally roll in the breadcrumbs. Leave in the fridge to set for around 30 mins. Bring the vegetable oil to the heat, enough that a piece of bread dropped into it will quickly cook. Add the mushrooms a few at a time and cook for approximately 5 minutes in batches. Remove, drain and keep warm whilst you make the Garlic Butter.

Garlic Butter - In a pan heat up the garlic, butter, parsley and chilli. Heat gently until the butter has melted. Turn off the heat.

To Serve - Arrange the salad of your choice on a serving plate, add the mushrooms and pour the garlic butter over the top.

Enjoy!....
