Foodie Extravaganza is where bloggers come together and celebrate food holidays. Did you know there is at least one food assigned to each day of the year to celebrate that food? Wendy from A Day in the Life on the Farm is our host this month.

If you are a blogger and you’re interested in joining in the fun, visit us at our Facebook Foodie Extravaganza page. You can also visit our past party submissions on our Pinterest Foodie Extravaganza board . We hope you will enjoy the recipes we are sharing this month.

For this month’s Foodie Extravaganza featuring mushrooms, I made Rántott Gomba (Hungarian Fried Mushrooms). Cremini or button mushrooms are simply breaded in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs, then fried until golden. I cut the mushrooms in halves and thirds, depending on the size, but I have also seen recipes where they have been left whole or even stuffed prior to frying. The mushrooms are generally served with tartar sauce as an appetizer or as an accompaniment to rice or pasta for a meal.

Frying foods always gives me a little bit of anxiety. These mushrooms were definitely on the easier side. As long as the oil is hot enough, they will fry perfectly with little error. No worries about batter or meat in the center being done.

I lightly washed the mushrooms and patted dry prior to coating, but some recipes call for peeling the tops of the mushrooms.

Don’t sprinkle the salt over the mushrooms until after they have been fried. Beforehand will make them release moisture and soften.

I reheated leftovers the next day in a single layer on a baking sheet in a 350 degree F oven until heated through, about 10 minutes.

Rántott Gomba (Hungarian Fried Mushrooms)
Adapted from Zsuzsa in the Kitchen
Serves 2-4

8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms
1/4 cup all purpose flour
2 eggs
1 cup fine breadcrumbs
Oil for deep frying
Salt to taste

 

Wash the mushrooms, pat dry, and remove the woody part of the stems. Cut in half or into thick slices if larger.

Place the flour in a small bowl and the eggs in a different bowl. Beat the eggs until smooth. In a third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.

Pour enough oil to in a small to medium pot to reach 2 inches deep. Place over medium heat.

Coat each mushroom piece in the flour, then the egg, and let the excess drip off. Coat thoroughly in the bread crumbs.

Once the oil has reached 350 degrees F, add the coated mushrooms, a few at a time, being careful not to overcrowd. Fry until golden, 1-2 minutes, then flip to cook the other side until golden. Transfer to a towel lined plate and repeat with remaining mushrooms.

Sprinkle with salt and serve immediately with tartar sauce.

    I LOVE fried mushrooms! I generally don’t fry at home, but these look so delicious I may have to make an exception!

    Glad you joined us this month! These are a great football finger food.
    I wonder if they could be baked in the oven instead of fried, too?!

      I’m sure they could be. Baking is just never quite the same, but it would still be delicious.

    Oh I am a big fan of doing mushrooms in this way. I never realized it was typically Hungarian though. Thanks for reminding me how good this is!

    When I was in university, our dining hall occasionally served fried mushrooms and they were one of my favorite things. Haven’t thought about them in years though and now I’m going to have to make some. Thanks, Tara! Yours look crispy and perfect!

    I love fried zucchini, although I usually bake it now. I bet this would be great. I’ve never had fried mushrooms.
