Are you also a fan of fried snacks?
We think they're even cooler when they're plant-based . With these fried banana blossoms, we take the otherwise classic dish " fish and chips " to the next level. Try it yourself!
FOR APPROXIMATELY 4-5 PEOPLE YOU NEED:
- 2 cans of Kumaio® - Banana Blossoms (one can contains approx. 5-6 pieces)
- 4 eggs
- Flour
- Breadcrumbs (conventional and Panko breadcrumbs are ideal for texture)
- Sunflower oil (approx. 1 liter)
- Salt & pepper to taste
HOW IT'S DONE:
Whisk the eggs with salt and pepper in a bowl. Fill two additional bowls with flour and breadcrumbs.
Tip: For a particularly delicious coating, you can mix regular breadcrumbs with panko breadcrumbs!
Lightly squeeze the banana blossoms and coat each one individually as follows: first in flour, then in the egg mixture, and then in the breadcrumbs. Heat the oil to approximately 180 degrees Celsius and fry the nuggets one at a time until golden brown.
SERVING SUGGESTION:
Potato wedges and salad go perfectly with the fried nuggets! A delicious dip is also a must. A curry dip or aioli is ideal.
Veganize the recipe: This recipe can easily be converted into a vegan recipe by omitting the egg and mixing the flour with water or a plant-based drink (such as oat milk).
