FOR THE CREAMY HORSERADISH SAUCE:

- 2 to 3 teaspoons prepared horseradish
Instructions
- Prepare the mushrooms by cleaning any dirt with a damp paper towel. Gently cut the bottom stem of each cluster to remove any dirt. Carefully, so as to not damage the cluster.
- Prepare the sauces to give the flavors time to marry.

- In a bowl, mix together the buttermilk and sriracha.
- In a separate bowl, combine the rice flour, salt, black pepper, onion and garlic powders.
- Grab the mushroom cluster by the stem and dip into the buttermilk mixture. Gently pull the mushrooms apart to coat the insides.
- Drain excess buttermilk then coat in the rice flour mixture. Use a spoon to coat the inside grooves.
- Finish coating the remaining mushrooms.
- Place one cluster into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on all sides. This will take about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Place on paper towels to drain off the excess oil. Dab the top of the mushrooms with paper towels to remove excess oil. Salt immediately.
- Finish frying the remaining mushrooms.
- Plate and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
- Serve with dipping sauce(s).
- ENJOY!
Notes
