Watch Tutorial VideoFirst up coat the mushrooms by mixing together the flour, olive oil & water to make a pancake batter style consistency. In a separate bowl mix together the breadcrumbs, tarragon & nori.
Dip the mushrooms into the batter first, then into the breadcrumbs making sure they are coated well.
Shallow fry the mushrooms in a large frying pan for 5-6 minutes or until crisp & golden. Alternatively bake the mushrooms in your oven set at 180 degrees C, for 35 minutes.
To make the marie rose sauce, simple stir everything together until well incorporated. Check for seasoning, then build your cocktail.
Use lovely crisp lettuce, fresh radish & herbs. Even avocado & lime works well with the crispy mushrooms and sauce. Serve your mushroom ‘prawn’ cocktails right away.
