Shaggy Ink Caps (Coprinus comatus) as a very safe beginners foraged Mushroom. There’s nothing which looks much like them which will do you any harm. However they have a very short shelf life and can be a bit slimy if you just throw them in a pan and fry them. But battered they were really good.
Ingredients:-
4 Tbsp of Gram Flour
5 Tbsps of Cornflour
Salt & fresh ground Black Pepper to season
2 Tsps of Baking Powder
2 Tsps of Turmeric
1 TSp of Garlic Granules
1 Tsp of Onion Salt
Soda Water
Method:-
(1) Cut the stalk off the Mushrooms.
(2) Keep 1 Tbsp of Cornflour aside.
(3) Mix the remaining ingredients to form a thick Batter.
(4) Damp the Mushrooms with a little Water and roll the in Cornflour.
(5) Coat with the Batter Mix.
(6) Deep fry at 160c until the Batter is crispy.
(7) Drain on kitchen paper.
We had ours as an addition to a Pork stir-fry with the Pork Loin strips coated in the same batter.

“In January 2018 we found ourselves in a Homeless Hostel and some six months later had to resort to living in a tent in order to save our much loved dog Buster from any further separation. On a budget of £4 a day to feed ourselves and Buster via Universal Credit, we spent much of our time sourcing ingredients and fresh water just to survive. Probably to keep ourselves sane we kept a record of our recipes. Many of the recipes in the book were created and cooked beside our tent on a single burner camp stove. We were fortunate to be helped by several charities and now have a flat in York. The remainder of these recipes have been created and cooked here on the same very limited budget.”
This is our way of giving something back to the charities who helped us and are continuing to help the homeless and those in need. We hope you find them inspiring and more to the point tasty and frugal.
The Ebook costs £4 with all proceeds going directly to your chosen charity or cause.
