A lovely treat for a special occasion. *Vegan variation: Replace the beaten egg with 3 tablespoons cornflour mixed with enough water to make a thick paste.

Ingredients
To serve:
Method
- Wipe the mushrooms with a damp cloth, then put them into a bowl with the lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Mix gently.
- Dip each mushroom into the beaten egg, then into flour, then into the egg again and finally into the breadcrumbs, to coat all over.
- Deep fry in oil heated to 180–190°C (350–375°F) or when a cube of bread browns in 30 seconds, for about 4 minutes, or until they are crisp and golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper and serve at once, garnished with watercress and accompanied by the mayonnaise.
