A delicious Vegan Mushroom Milanese Sandwich made with breaded oyster mushrooms, tomato sauce, vegan parmesan, and rocket. This cozy meal is easy to prepare using an air fryer or shallow frying method. Perfect for a delightful snack or meal, it serves 2 sandwiches and combines rich flavors for a satisfying experience.
1: Combine the flour with 1/2 cup of water, oregano, and pinches of salt and pepper to create a smooth batter. If it’s too thick, add an extra splash of water.
2: Add a few tablespoons of flour to a separate plate, then add the breadcrumbs to a separate bowl.
3: Dip one of the oyster mushrooms into the flour, then submerge in the batter, then fully coat it in the breadcrumbs, and leave it to one side. Repeat for the remaining clusters.
4: If you’re using an air fryer, spray the basket a couple of times with oil, add the breaded mushrooms, and spray them with oil again. Cook for 14-18 minutes at 180°C / 350°F or until golden and crispy all over, turning halfway.
5: Meanwhile, fry the garlic in oil for 2 minutes until it begins to turn brown. Then add the chopped tomatoes, pinches of salt, and pepper, then simmer for 10-14 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
6: Stir in the basil, then set aside.
7: Spoon the tomato sauce over the bottom halves of the ciabatta, then place the breaded mushroom clusters on top, followed by some grated parmesan and the rocket.
8: Add the ciabatta tops, then slice the sandwiches in half to serve.
