Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
½ head cauliflower, broken up
1 head broccoli, broken up
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 egg
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 ¾ cups bread crumbs

Steps:

In a food processor, blend carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, garlic, egg, onion powder, salt, and pepper until combined.
Add 1¼ cup (145 grams) of bread crumbs and blend just until incorporated.
Scoop a tablespoon of the mixture and form a small circular-shaped "nugget."
Place the remaining ½ cup (60 grams) of bread crumbs in a bowl and cover each nugget with the bread crumbs.
Pan fry with a small drizzle of oil over medium-high heat until both sides are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Or, you can bake them on a piece of parchment paper at 400˚F (200˚C) for 25 minutes, flipping after the first 15 minutes.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
Enjoy!

Country-Fried Pork Nuggets image

Provided by Aaron McCargo Jr.

Time 28m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Canola oil, for frying
1 tablespoon chopped chives
1/4 cup minced pickled jalapenos
1 shallot, minced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 1/2 cups whole-grain mustard
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
2 pounds pork loin, cut into chunks
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
1 tablespoon cayenne

Steps:

Preheat a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, with enough canola oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 375 degrees F.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the chives, jalapenos, shallots, garlic, white wine vinegar, and mustard. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
Season the pork with salt and pepper, to taste. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the buttermilk and egg together. In a large bowl, combine the flour, paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper, to taste. Coat the pork on all sides in the buttermilk. Drain the pork from the buttermilk and add the chunks to the flour. Toss the pork in the flour insuring all of the pork is coated evenly. Shake off excess flour. Working in batches, deep-fry the nuggets until cooked through and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the pork from the fryer to a paper towel lined platter to drain. Transfer the pork to a serving platter and serve with jalapeno mustard.
