    Batter Coated Fried Veggies

    Recipe




    If you are planning on making batter-coated fried vegetables,
    such as mushrooms or zucchini, as side dishes, try a time-saving trick that
    many pros use. Dredge your prepared vegetables as usual in a milk and egg
    wash, then coat with a mixture of flour and cornmeal or packaged coating
    mix.

    When mealtime approaches, place the coated vegetables in a generous
    frying basket, and place them in the hot oil. DO NOT fully cook the
    vegetables, but pull them out of the oil after a minute or two has gone by. You
    want the coating to be light in color, not brown. The pros call this
    technique 'blanching', and it saves time in the long run by keeping the
    vegetables in a state of 'suspended animation'. When the time is appropriate to
    serve the vegetables, the basket should be put back into the oil until the
    coating is fully browned. This will take less time than usual due to the
    blanching, so you can easily time your side dishes to come out alongside your main
    course.
