Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

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

Steps:

  • 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!
