Author: Rachel Jessee, partner, Mountain Mushrooms in Reno
- 8 ounces lion’s mane mushroom
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup onion finely minced
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ¾ teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley minced
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 3 tablespoons ghee lard, or oil for sautéing
Finely shred lion’s mane in food processor using pulse setting, or shred by hand, until it reaches a crab-like texture. Place shredded mushroom in cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. Mix together with all remaining ingredients in a bowl and form into patties. Add oil to frying pan, and sauté cakes over medium heat for a few minutes on each side until nicely browned.
Enjoy with lemon and your favorite aioli sauce!
