I was asked for mushroom recipes in a recent comment. Here’s one.

First go collect some puffballs.

You need two pans for this. In one, add a little olive oil and start some onion cooking. Add garlic, tomatoes from the garden, perhaps some zucchini or some swiss chard. Season with fresh garden herbs and a healthy pinch of hot chiles.

Meanwhile…. season breadcrumbs (I mix in some of my standard bbq rub) in a bowl and in another bowl add 3 eggs and mix them up with a fork.

Slice puffballs to 3/8 inch thickness more or less. Dip in egg then dredge in breadcrumbs. Then fry these up using vegetable oil so they brown on both sides.

Plate the puffball slices and add generous quantities of your veggie mixture on top along with plenty of fresh ground pepper.

I enjoyed mine with a cold ale.
