Sandwich Stuff

  • 16 to 24 Oz Oyster Mushrooms, Shiitake or Lion's Mane Trimmed
  • 6 Dutch Crusty Rolls (or your favorite Hoagie Bun)
  • 1 Tomato Sliced
  • 1 Head Romaine Lettuce Sliced

Instructions

Spicy Mayo

  • Place all the ingredients in a food processor and mix until smooth.

Wet Mix

  • Add the ingredients together and set aside

Dry Mix

  • Add the ingredients together and set aside.

Oyster Mushrooms

  • Wash the mushrooms and trim the ends off.
  • For large oyster mushrooms, cut in half so they are bite sized.
  • Place the mushrooms in the wet mix and let them sit for 20 minutes.

Prepare the Sandwich

  • Place 2 T of olive or coconut oil in a fry pan and turn to med high.
  • Turn the oven on to broil.
  • Coat the mushrooms in the wet mix and in small bunches, place in the dry mix and cover well. Place the mushrooms in the fry pan and fry on each side until crispy and golden brown. Remove from the fry pan and pat with paper towels to remove any extra oil.
  • Slice the hoagies down the middle, but don't cut them in half. Lightly sprinkle with olive oil, a small amount of garlic salt and place in oven. You want to JUST BARELY toast the hoagies so they have a light crunch on the open face.
  • Smear some spicy mayo on both side of the hoagies. Place a layer of mushrooms, tomato and lettuce. You can add more spicy mayo - I did!
  • ENJOY - THESE ARE SO GOOD!
