Wednesday Potluck - It Tastes Like Chicken!

After we bagged our shaggy manes on our last mushroom adventure it was prep time for our meal.  We shook of the excess dirt and cinder and then took a brush to them, carefully brushing off the excess.  Here they are after that operation.


Not too appetizing huh?  Luckily I had some help.  My son Simeon had never had these delectables so he was eagerly participating in the process. 


Here they are squeaky clean after a thorough bath.


My favorite way of preparing them is to dip them in whipped egg, then into cracker crumbs and them finally into a hot pan with olive oil in it.




I must say, I love cooking in cast iron.  It browns so evenly and nicely. 




Here is the finished product in all its' glory.  It was definitely the star component to our dinner that evening.  Everything else paled in comparison. 



A pleasant end to a pleasant day ... (see prior post "A Mushroom Adventure")
