Mushroom ‘Crabcakes’

Ingredients
  • 1 pound mushrooms, diced or shredded
  • 1/2 red onion, finely diced
  • 1 bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha or hot sauce (optional)
Instructions

Cook mushrooms and 2 tablespoons water in skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes. Drain well, squeezing as much excess liquid as possible from mushrooms. Mix together onion, bell pepper, Old Bay seasoning, mayo, mustard, panko, egg and sriracha or hot sauce (if using). Add the well-drained mushrooms. Form into patties in your desired size. Chill mushroom patties for at least 30 minutes.

Cook using one of the following methods:
Air fry: Spray basket with cooking spray. Cook at 400 degrees 8-12 minutes.
Stove: Pan fry in heated olive oil on medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes on each side until brown.
Oven: Bake at 425 degrees on parchment-lined baking sheet for 10-15 minutes.

Notes

These are so rich and tasty, with a texture very similar to crab! Alabama has an abundance of mushroom varieties, but for those who don’t have the time to forage, there are plenty of local growers including our favorite “Mushroom Man Tan” in Fairhope (@mushroommantan). This recipe works great with Lion’s Manes, Hen of the Woods, or even the kind commonly found in your local grocery store.
