When at the Warrenton Farmers Market last week, I stopped at my mushroom guy, Waterford Run Forge and Farm; he had some great looking mushrooms. What to do with them? I had an idea to make them like a bloomin’ onion since they were all in one piece. I used a pancake batter then covered it in panko breadcrumbs. I used some mushroom powder to up the umami factor. I hope you like it.
