We hit the driving range today but we didnt hit it too well.
This big ol' pile of onion rings is destined for greater things. It is part of an invention that I am going to post tomorrow, I sure hope it comes out good.
I found some HUGE wine cap mushrooms and I didnt want to toss out the incredibly large stems so I made something out of them.
Mock scallops anyone? You heard that right, 'fake scallops' for the vegetarian in all of us.
The stems were hot seared in a dry pan to caramelize a bit then a browned butter sauce was made with the fond.
The 'scallops' were then placed on some radish with the brown butter poured all around and then a drizzle of truffle oil and some Himalayan pink salt finished them off. The flavor and texture was fantastic, this is definitely a 'keeper' and I am anxious to try this out on my veggie friends.

give me the onion rings NOW!
I could go for some onion rings right about now. Dip 'em in some sauce. Yum! I had no idea that there was such a thing as fake scallops. Though, I'd prefer the real stuff.
can't wait to see what you do with those onion rings. that mushroom is gigantious! how did you know it was ok to eat? interesting what you did with them as fake scallops.
Cool idea with the "scallops" :)
Those rings look awesome! Your scallops look so real, good fake-out, and brown butter is one of my favorite things in the whole world. I bet it was divine.
Cool! They looks so real...well, you know. But yes, one large order of onion rings for me, please!
wow those mushrooms can be the substitute of umbrellas, haha, did you pick the mushrooms by urselves? how to know if they are edible or not?
Everything you touch ends up looking delicious!
These "mock scallops" are a work of art - the plate looks beautiful!
wow that mushroom - wonder if that actually is a fake! the dish looks great, but I woud be REALLY mocked, 'cause I love real scallops :o)

I like the stems myself! The dense texture has a nice chew to it..

That's one huge mushroom and they do look like scallops.
I want the onion rings! Wait, that doesn't mean you can give away the cherry radish to others!
that's one BEHEMOTH of a mushroom! and fake scallops are so clever--i might actually like them more than real ones. :)
What a big mushroom you have...
The fake scallops look great-this must be one of those "rare" all vegetarian posts of yours!!
I mentioned food on my blog along with pictures and described a meal on Tag, I'm It #3. This doesn't happen often.
Your pictures are so good of your food and look delicious as well as artistic.

Yum on the onion rings... I am drooling!
Excellent idea on the mock scallops!
I'm jealous--I haven't been to the driving range in ages. Your 'scallops' look fantastic!
OMG! Amazing those mock scallops, simply amazing. And those onion rings ain't bad either!
What a lovely spread of dishes! Am completely fallen by the look of onion rings! Looks heavenly. And huge mushroom?! Loved ur fake scallops!
Hats of to ur presentation and can u give me the onion rings..its my fav and the omelette is looking so yummy...
whoa. i'm impressed DB...thinking outside the death box for once.
the mock scallops are amazing! What a great idea! Love the pink salt here too, I've gotten some recently and haven't used it on anything yet.
Nice! I like the "mock" scallops, bet the texture was pretty good. Also good combo with the radishes :)
You're right, I think these were the mushrooms I saw on West End Ave! The stems weren't quite as tall, but the caps looked just like that. Thanks so much for sharing your 'shroom knowledge with me ... I won't pass them by next time!
