PARMESAN BREADED OCHROES
Ingredients
12 – 14 ochroes, tops and ends trimmed
1½ cups panko bread crumbs
1 tsp dried parsley
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup flour, seasoned with salt and pepper
Oil for frying
Directions
- Cut the ochroes in half horizontally and then vertically.
- Place in separate bowls, the breadcrumbs, eggs and flour. Add the parsley and cheese to the breadcrumbs and mix well.
- Dredge the ochroes first in flour, then eggs and finally the breadcrumbs, ensuring the ochroes are well covered.
- Sauté in the hot oil, turning occasionally until the ochroes are cooked. Place on a paper towel to drain any excess oil. Serve warm.
