Fennel Fried Oyster Sandwich

A big-crunch, big-flavor, mushroom monster.

Wild and cultivated oyster mushrooms can vary in texture and flavor, but they typically share an aroma of anise. In this recipe, oyster mushrooms are brined and fried in a spiced breading, then piled onto buns with a fennel slaw and lemony mayo. Even if you’re wishy-washy on the flavor of fennel, give this recipe a try: it’s got the crunchiness, fattiness, and brightness that makes a sandwich great. Make these for a game day lunch, or divide the mushrooms onto little buns to make sliders for a crowd.
