MEMPHIS DRY-RUB MUSHROOMS



Memphis Dry-Rub Mushrooms image

This showstopper - using a dry rub adapted from Greg Collier, the chef and co-owner of Leah & Louise in Charlotte, N.C. - is an opportunity to explore different mushroom varieties. Black oyster mushrooms give a brawny bite, and effortlessly hold the soulful seasoning while getting the crispest, crunchiest edges. Fuzzy white lion's mane or even portobellos work, too; just buy the biggest mushrooms you can find. This recipe uses Worcestershire sauce, which typically includes anchovies, so be sure to seek out vegan Worcestershire if you'd like to make the dish vegan. Serve with sweet potato pikliz.

Time 45m

Yield 3 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 (packed) cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup hot paprika
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin seed
1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
2 pounds large clusters of black oyster mushrooms or lion's mane, or portobello mushrooms
1/2 cup canola oil or grapeseed oil
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Make the rub: In a large bowl, combine all rub ingredients and mix well. Reserve 1/4 cup rub for the mushrooms and put the rest in an airtight container for another use, such as chicken, salmon or cauliflower.
  • Prepare the mushrooms: Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Using a slightly damp kitchen towel, wipe the mushrooms to remove any dirt. (Don't rinse the mushrooms or submerge them in water.) Carefully cut or tear the mushrooms into 6 large pieces about the size of a hand.
  • Place the mushrooms on a large sheet pan and drizzle them with the oil and Worcestershire sauce. Gently massage the reserved 1/4 cup dry rub into the nooks and crannies of the mushrooms.
  • Roast the mushrooms on the top rack until deeply browned and crisp at the edges, about 40 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of spices to create a flavorful rub. Common spices used in Memphis-style rubs include paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, and black pepper.
  • Experiment with different types of sugar to add a touch of sweetness to the rub. Brown sugar, granulated sugar, and maple sugar are all popular choices.
  • Add a bit of heat to the rub with cayenne pepper or chili flakes. Be careful not to overdo it, as you don't want the rub to be too spicy.
  • Use a binder to help the rub adhere to the meat. Common binders include oil, mustard, and vinegar.
  • Apply the rub to the meat at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will give the flavors time to penetrate the meat.
  • Cook the meat according to the recipe instructions. Memphis-style barbecue is typically cooked low and slow, either in a smoker or on a grill.
  • Serve the meat with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, baked beans, and potato salad.
