step 1

ingredients 8 portabello caps

instructions Preheat oven to 350F. Place mushroom caps (stems removed) on a baking sheet and put in oven for 12-15 minutes until soft. This helps take moisture out of the mushroom for a better fry. Remove mushrooms from oven and pat dry excess moisture.
step 2

ingredients 1 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups portabello stems (minced)
2 shallots (minced)

instructions In a medium saute pan heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add stems and shallots. Saute for 2-3 minutes. Cool mixture and set aside.
step 3

ingredients 1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 egg whites (stiffly beaten)
1 cup seltzer

instructions Make tempura batter: Combine dry ingredients. Fold in stiff egg whites and then seltzer.
step 4

ingredients 16 toothpicks
Vegetable oil (for frying)

instructions Fill each portabello mushroom cap with mushroom stem mixture. Make a sandwich with another cap, secure with toothpicks. Dip in tempura batter, fry in oil at about 360F.
step 5

ingredients 4 onion brioche buns
1 cup mayo
1 head roasted garlic
2 tablespoons fresh tarragon (chopped)
Lettuce
Tomato

instructions Assemble: Place fried mushroom cap on toasted onion bun with aioli and eat 'em up!
