They Will Never Know - (Lion's Mane Mushroom Recipe Crispy Cajun Double Sandwich)

This recipe will blow your mind!! Are you looking for something different to do with your Lion's Mane that is not crab cakes? You have to try this 100% vegan recipe.

It has been about a year since I have done a recipe here on Youtube. This is changing starting with this new series called "This Recipe Reminds Me Of." For each episode, I will pick an image, item, or person to take us down memory lane. You never know where this may go. I have many stories to share and hope to bring others on the show to share their story while we whip up some vegan recipes.

In this episode, we are bringing the Lion's Manes mushroom recipes to the channel by showing you how to make a fire vegan Extra Crispy Cajun Double Lion's Mane Sandwich. The inspiration came from a photo of a stranger at a party in Palm Springs, CA, and me at Ace Hotel. Thank God I dont party like that anymore, but I had some good memories. After getting drunk and partying, we would hit Jack In The Box and get their Big Chicken Sandwich. That is another thing I am glad I dont do anymore. We didn't have much, but we had each other and always knew how to have fun.

I wanted to remake that sandwich, but vegan and even better! Check out the recipe below and subscribe to catch the next episode. Oh, remember to hit that bell for alerts.

Extra Crispy Cajun Double Lion's Mane Mushroom Recipe

Full Recipe Below

Sauteing Lion's Mane Mushroom Ingredients
18 - 10 oz of Lion's Mane Mushroom
Pinch of minced onion
Pinch of minced garlic
Pinch of salt and pepper

Wet Batter
1 cup of spelt flour
2/3 - 1 cup sparkling water
2 Tbsp tapioca (Optional)
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
Salt & pepper to taste

Dry Batter
1/2 cup of spelt flour
1 cup of panko
2 tsp of minced onions
2 tsp minced garlic
2 tsp cajun seasoning
1 tsp Italian seasoning

Additional Ingredients
Bread
Lettuce
Red onions
Vegan mayo or sauce of choice

Instructions
Clean, pull or cut apart the Lion's Mane mushroom. Use 2 - 2.5 oz of Lion's Mane patty each.
Add Lion's Mane to the cast iron pan and cook on medium for 2-3 minutes on each side as you press the Lion's Mane down with the press or pan. Do not overcook; the goal is to cook some water out as we shape our patties. Sat to the side when done.
Create Wet Batter
Create Dry Batter
Fry or Air Fry Lion's Mane (Fry at 370 Degrees) I love to use grape seed oil.
Build your sandwich with sauce, lettuce, red onion, and Lion's Mane on your bun of choice. (It went off with pretzel buns)

I just made this for dinner and it was absolutely delicious! It had the exact same texture as a fried chicken sandwich and the flavors were on point. Thanks for sharing this with us!

Woww!! This looks epic! Can’t wait to see how it’s done 🤤

[MsLadidy]

The first bite (the crunch) made my mouth water!!!! LOL

[almaflores]

I made it but baked mine instead of frying and it was crunchy and not dry; also the spices made it so flavourful. Looked like breaded chicken. Well my kids didn't complain or asked anything so I will continue making it. Also I used less cayenne pepper cause of the kids.

[salinarod]

I am just learning to be healthier and I don’t eat any meat anymore and I’m having a difficult time making lions mane. Yours look amazing and I just need to find the right ingredients I’m sure.

[benjervis]

I’m going to start growing lions mane. I love cooking and I love mushrooms, and this looks like the best thing I’ve ever seen!
Very easy to grow and not too expensive.
