Mushroom Chips - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb large white mushroom
2 cups vegetable oil
kosher salt, as needed
fresh ground black pepper (optional)
chopped fresh parsley, garnish (optional)

Preparation

With a sharp knife or a mandolin, slice each mushroom cap horizontally into very thin, almost translucent slices.
In a small saucepan, over medium heat, heat oil to 375\u00b0F.
Add mushroom slices, a few at a time, to hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 6 minutes.
With a slotted spoon, remove mushroom slices from oil and drain on paper towels; repeat until all mushrooms are cooled.
Sprinkle with salt and black pepper if using.
Now, sprinkle with a few chopped parsley leaves.
The mushroom chips will become crisper as they cool; allow 1 hour.
Serve with cocktails, as a soup garnish, on a salad and/or with a steak.
