Mushrooms are one of my favourite ingredients.  I love them braaied, fried, baked etc.  I can have  them for breakfast, lunch, dinner and in between.  It therefore comes as no surprise that I would choose mushrooms for my second  Knorr Crispy & Tasty Coating recipe.  This starter recipe uses button mushrooms ,however, one can use mushroom steaks for bigger portions which can be served as main course.   For the recipe, I played around with the preparation instructions and went against what is recommended on the packet by adding milk to the coating then dipping the mushrooms into it.  This creates a crunchy coating.  One should feel free to use the directions on the packet.

I particularly  love the dipping sauce in this recipe.  It is made up of the BBQ dippping mix, tomato sauce, sweet chilli sauce and parsley.  It is delicious and it adds extra personality to this lovely dish.  Get to try the recipe and share your thoughts and experience with us.  Enjoy!
