INGREDIENTS
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
16 ounces of Lion’s Mane Mushroom
mushrooms, shredded or chopped
1 cup finely chopped onion
¼ cup finely chopped red bell pepper
2 tablespoons minced garlic (~6 cloves)
¾ cup panko bread crumbs
2 eggs, beaten
4 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning (kosher salt
as a substitute), plus more for garnish
Lemon wedges, for garnish
½ cup high-quality mayonnaise
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
4 teaspoons lemon juice
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

METHOD

• Prepare Lion’s Mane mushrooms by pulling each puff apart with your hands and shred to the size of lumped crab, or slice thinly with a sharp knife. Heat 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add prepared mushrooms, onions, and bell pepper, and cook until soft, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. (It will look like a lot of mushrooms at first, but like spinach, it will wilt down.)
• Add minced garlic and cook until most of the moisture has evaporated from the pan and the mixture resembles steamed crab meat, about 5-7 more minutes. Remove from heat and reserve in a large bowl in the fridge. Let cool 10-15 minutes.
• In the meantime, in a small bowl mix together mayo, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon juice, and freshly ground black pepper. Set garlic aioli aside.
• Once mushroom mixture is cool, add panko breadcrumbs, beaten eggs, parsley, Old Bay, and cayenne pepper (optional) and gently fold everything together with clean hands or a rubber spatula until well incorporated.
• Use a ? cup to scoop onto a large plate/platter and carefully shape into ¾-inch thick patties. Let rest in the fridge for 5 minutes to firm up.
• In a large non-stick skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, place half of the patties into the oil and cook until browned on one side, about 2-4 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until browned. Remove from heat and place on a cooling rack over a baking sheet. Season with extra Old Bay seasoning while hot.
• Repeat the process with remaining patties. Once done, serve with the garlic aioli and enjoy immediately! Chef’s Note: Increase spice level by adding cayenne pepper, to taste.
