Welcome:
Spaghettiman Recipe Suggestions.
I would like to make this a regular segment of the blog.
2 easy recipe that are easy and simple to make.
Formaggio Fritto ( Fried Cheese)
3/4 cup of bread crumbs
1/8 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp salt
2 cloves of garlic minced.
1 egg (beaten)
2 tbsp milk
2 tbsp veg oil
6-10 oz of hard cheese, cubed( Cheddar,Jack, Colby and my fave mozzarella)
3/4 cup of flour
1. Mix breadcrumbs,oregano,salt and garlic in a bowl.
2. In a separate bowl combine egg and milk.
3. In yet another bowl some flour.
4. Heat a oil in a deep skillet over med to med high heat until hot.(350)
- While the oil is heating up.
5. Dip the cheese cubes in flour.
6. Dip the cubes now in in the egg wash.
7. Cover in bread crumbs
repeat process if necessary to ensure the dredging has mated with the cheese cubes.
8. Once the dredging process is complete allow the cubes to sit for 10-15 minutes.
( Enough time to enjoy some of that Paisano wine you poured before you started)
9. place or slide cubes into the oil bath, Fry until golden brown turning once.(1-2 min)
scoop out and allow excess oil to drain and place in a paper towel lined basket/dish and serve while hot.
Goes great with that buttered Italian bread and wine.
I have made it as a precursor to dinner or for NASCAR snacks.
This recipe is pretty much the one listed in I Cantatori
The fried cheese also reminds me that it
also goes well with the following dressing.
1/4 cup of veg oil or e.v.o.l. ( extra virgin olive oil)
1/4 cup of red wine vinegar.
Salt
Pepper
Mix the ingredients in a bowl tasting. add seasoning as dad says ;"to taste"
You can also add garlic or fresh parsley.
Lemon juice can be used to cut the oil and vinegar mixture and add more flavor.
I like the vin/oil alone though.
Serve on Romaine ,but actually at the shack a head of everyday lettuce.
