King trumpet mushrooms, aka king oyster mushrooms, have become hugely popular for their mild, delicate flavour and nutty, meaty texture. They are not only just delicious, also full of health-supporting antioxidants. The whole mushroom is edible and can be eaten either raw or cooked. Cooking enhances the savory umami flavours. The large stems and caps hold their shape when roasted or grilled, making them a great side dish or light meal. When cutting the mushrooms, try to get slices that include both the cap and stem to best showcase the mushroom’s shape.

 

2 tbsp Fresh basil leaves, finely shredded 1 clove Garlic 1 tsp Lemon zest 2 tsp Lemon juice 50 g Mayonnaise 1 tsp Hot mustard 2 tbsp Milk Salt 300 g King trumpet mushrooms Olive oil for frying Freshly milled black pepper Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese for topping

1. Finely shred the basil leaves, peel and press the garlic and mix with the lemon zest, lemon juice, mayonnaise, mustard and milk until smooth. Season with salt.
2. Slice the mushrooms lengthwise. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add in a little olive oil and fry the mushrooms in batches for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper and drain on kitchen paper.
3. Arrange the mushrooms on serving plates, grate some Parmesan over and drizzle with the lemon mayonnaise. Sprinkle with the extra basil leaves if desired and serve immediately.
