SANDRA'S CRISPY BROCCOLI STEM and ZUCCHINI MEDALLIONS with HOMEMADE RANCH DIP
 |
| I developed this recipe because I tend to have a hard time tossing perfectly good broccoli stems. As it turned out, these medallions are a splendid side dish or served as an appetizer... |

INGREDIENTS
--Peanut oil for frying
2 cups broccoli stems, peeled, and cut into 3/4” medallions
2 medium zucchini, cut into 3/4" medallions
1/4 cup yellow corn meal

METHOD
Mix together the ranch dipping sauce ingredients in a small serving bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Heat 1/2" of peanut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, add the corn meal, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, basil, parmesan, cayenne, kosher salt and ground pepper in large ziploc bag, and set aside.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with a tiny bit of water, and set aside.
Dry the vegetables with a paper towel. Working in small batches, toss the vegetable medallions in the beaten eggs, then coat in the flour/cornmeal mixture to cover completely. Place breaded medallions into the oil for 2 to 3 minutes per side, just until lightly golden brown, flip over and continue cooking on other side until golden and crisp. Season with a sprinkling of kosher salt while hot, cool for a couple of minutes, and serve with ranch dipping sauce on the side. ~ Enjoy!
