4-6
ingredients
- vegetable oil (for deep frying)
- 7 garlic cloves
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- 1⁄4 cup milk, approx
- salt and pepper
- 1 large zucchini
- 300 g fresh mozzarella cheese
- 15 -20 pitted green olives
- sea salt
- fresh basil
- 1⁄2 lemon
directions
- Place 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in pan with whole garlic cloves (in cold oil) heat to frying temperature (this is about 180°C).
- In 3 separate bowls place flour in one, eggs and milk whisked, and panko breadcrumbs. Salt and pepper each.
- Slice zucchini and cut mozzarella in nice bite sized chunks.
- Bread zucchini, mozzarella and olives by coating in flour, then egg wash then breadcrumbs. (My tip is to use a dry hand and a wet hand, this will keep you from getting big blobs of flour and breadcrumbs on your fingers! I will put more detailed instructions on how I do this below).
- Fry breaded items until lightly golden.
- Serve with a nice sprinkling of sea salt, fresh basil and a squeeze of lemon juice!
