Method:
1. In a bowl prepare the marinade.

3. Add the rest of the ingredients for the marinade.
4. Wash the mushrooms and cut the end of the stems off.
5. Add them to the marinade and mix them so they all get covered.
6. Cover with cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for 20 minutes – 30 minutes.
7. Prepare the dry coating by adding all the ingredients into a mixing bowl and mixing so they are all incorporated.
8. Leave to one side for later.
9. Get a saucepan and fill ¾ of the way with sunflower oil or vegetable oil.
10. Bring to medium high heat and heat the oil to 180*c.
11. Mince in garlic for the sauce.
12. In a small saucepan add the ingredients for the sauce and bring to a simmer and leave to reduce until it reduces enough to coat the back of a spoon.
13. Wash and thinly slice the spring onions and save to one side to garnish the dish.
14. Take the mushrooms out the fridge and double coat in the dry mix by using the left over marinade in-between coats to make the dry mix stick.
15. Carefully fry them in two halves adding them one at a time to make sure they don’t stick together.

17. Get a mixing bowl and add the fried mushrooms and the reduced sauce.
18. Toss the mushrooms in the sauce to make sure they are all evenly covered and quickly transfer onto a plate or into a bowl to serve.
