Ingredients
 
 

  • 500 g button mushrooms
  • 200 g Panko breadcrumbs
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 Tbsp corn starch
  • 1 onion diced
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1 bunch dill chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Slice the mushrooms and chop the onions. Saute them in a large frying pan with 1 Tbsp of oil.
  • Cook until most of the water from them evaporates - 10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let them cool.
  • Add them into the food processor along with the seasonings, herbs, Panko breadcrumbs, corn starch, garlic and whisked eggs.
  • Pulse a couple of times, just to process the mushrooms into smaller bits, but make sure you don't over-process, you don't want them turning into mush.
  • Move everything to a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Let it sit in the fridge for 20 minutes.
  • Now the composition should be easy to mold into small meatballs. Wet your hands and start forming the mushroom balls. Place them on a tray covered with parchment paper.
  • You can either bake these at 200C/392F in an oven tray covered with parchment paper or deep-fry them. Deep-frying offers a better texture.
  • Heat some oil in a large pan. Once hot, add the mushroom meatballs and fry them on all sides until crispy - 3-4 minutes.
  • Once fried, move them on a plate covered with a paper towel to absorb all excess oil.
