Crispy Zucchini

Making super crispy zucchini is extremely easy. My secret to achieve this is using flour batter and breadcrums together with sesame seeds. Simply combine flour, spices and water and there you have your batter to dip zucchini. Next mix some fine good quality breadcrumbs with some sesame seeds and I will tell you fried sesame seeds are just perfect with zucchini. Next cut your zucchini in to bite size pieces, dip in to the batter and then breadcrumb and sesame seed mixture. Fry it in good quality vegetable or grapeseed oil until golden brown.

Sun Dried Tomato and Garlic sauce

Here in Lithuania, we enjoy leaf garlic whole year around. It is one of my favourite herbs to add in to sauces and salads. For this sauce I’m using leaf garlic but you can just substitute with more of the garlic cloves.

For the sauce you will need sun dried tomatoes in oil, garlic, parsley, pumpkin seeds or any nuts, salt, lemon and oil. I use my favourite small food processor to make the sauce. Simply combine all the ingredients in to a food processor and blend until smooth. Add a splash of water if you think the sauce looks too thick. Also taste the sauce to adjust the flavour in the end.

How to plate Crispy Zucchini with Sun Dried Tomato Sauce?
