Time 35m

Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 8

400g block mozzarella (not in water)
50g flour
2 eggs
150g breadcrumbs
2 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp dried oregano
vegetable or sunflower oil for frying
dips , to serve

Steps:

  • Cut the mozzarella into 'chips'. Tip the flour into a bowl and season well. Whisk the eggs in a second bowl and tip the breadcrumbs, paprika and oregano into a third. Coat the mozzarella sticks in the flour, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs. Transfer to a parchment-lined tray and freeze for at least 2 hrs.
  • Heat enough oil to come 2-3cm up the side of a saucepan. When hot, drop in a test chip - it should sizzle straight away and brown within a minute or two. The secret is to cook them long enough to crisp up the outside without letting the mozzarella ooze out - it may take you a few practice chips to get it right. Cook the chips in batches and drain on kitchen paper. Serve hot with your favourite dip.
