INSTRUCTIONS
e
Combine seasoning mix ingerdients is a small bowl, mixing thoroughly.
Sprinkle the vegetables evenly with about 1/2 tsp of the mix. Place
the flour in a small bowl and the breadcrumbs in another. Add 1 tsp of
the seasoning mix to the flour and one tsp to the breadcrumbs, mixing
each well. (Use any leftover mix to season other vegetables before
cooking. In a seperate small bowl combine the milk and egg until well
blended. Heat 1 inch oil in a 2 qt. saucepan or deep fryer to 350
degrees. Just before frying, dredge the chopped vegetables in the
seasoned flour, shaking off excess. Work quickly so flour doesn't get
too moist; it's best to use your hands for this, but a slotted spoon
will do. Then coat well with the milk mixture, then quickly with the
breadcrumbs, shaking off excess. Place the vegetables in hot oil until
dark golden brown, about 2-3 minutes, making sure to seperate the
vegetable pieces as you drop them into the oil. Adjust heat as
necessary to keep at 350 degrees. Drain and serve immediately. Sprinle
lightly with powdered sugar (If desired) Source: Paul Prudhomme
