Fried zucchini #2

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 medium Zucchini,
1/4\" slices, crosswise
(other veggies in pieces,
If desired, such as
Mushrooms, onion rings,
Eggplant slices,
Cauliflower)
2 Leaves of fresh basil,
Very coarsely chopped
1 medium Red onion,
Sliced very thin
1 cup Grated Parmesan
Or
Romano cheese, grated
Vegetable oil for frying
1 cup Flour
1 Egg
¾ cup Milk (or more if needed)
2 teaspoons Garlic salt
Dash of black pepper

Directions

Mix together the flour, egg, milk and seasonings and whisk together.

The batter should be the consistency of a medium thick pancake batter. Pour enough oil into a heavy fry pan to a depth of about ½" and heat to high. Dip the slices of zucchini in the batter to fully cover each slice and drop gently into the hot oil. Fry on each side to a golden brown, drain for a few minutes on a paper towel and set in a baking dish in layers. In between each layer sprinkle some Parmesan cheese, spread a few rings of the onion slices and sprinkle a little of the basil leaves. Cover with foil as you fry the remaining zucchini to keep warm and lightly steam. Serve immediately.
