Breaded, baked zucchini are a side dish orgasm.
Its fairly easy to prepare so u wont have to steam over the stove to prepare them.
U know that feeling when u get really bored from preparing the same minimal dishes in those hot summer days and u are really in need of some decadence ?
Well thats how i feel about side dishes sometimes. Sure, there is a health benefit to simple vegetables. But there is a deep satisfaction in something decadent.And sometimes you need that satisfaction.
Breaded, Baked zucchini are a side dish delight.
You peel them, cut them salt them and let them sweat. When completely drenched, you dry them dip in flour and eggs and put them in hot boiling oil.
Ingredients
2 zucchinis
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
2 teaspoons seasoned salt
Oil
3 tablespoons parsley
5 tablespoons flour
1/2 litter heavy cream
Instructions for preparing this dish
1.
Wash
and peel zucchini. Cut each in half, and then lengthwise into slices the width
of three pennies stacked together. (You'll get about 20-25 slices.) Salt them
up generously, and leave aside in a bowl for about 15 minutes to let them sweat
out the moisture.
2.
Separately
beat two eggs in a soup bowl, and add 1 teaspoon of seasoned salt (or ½
bouillon). Mix well. Take another bowl and pour the flour into it.
3.
Heat
up some ooil in a frying pan on the highest setting. Dry each
zucchini slice with a paper towel. First dip each in the bowl with flour, then
in the bowl with eggs. Place carefully into the frying pan. Fry at the highest
setting for a while, and then bring the heat down to medium. As you'll fry two
or three batches due to amount of zucchini remember that the first batch will
take the longest to fry, or about 3-4 minutes on each side. Each subsequent
batch will only take half that. (You'll further bake zucchini so you are not
frying them up completely, just until they get the right blushing color.) Heat
oven to 390F.
4.
Beat
the remaining egg, and mix with heavy cream, parsley and the remaining seasoned
salt (or bouillon).
5.
Layer
all slices into a pan (approximately 12-14 inch in diameter). You'll have 2-3
levels. Once layered, pour the heavy cream mixture over it evenly. Bake for 25
minutes, turning the pan around midway
I enjoy this dish with a ton of sour cream and
Greek yogurt as a dip for the baked zucchinis
