Hanukkah-style Caprese Salad Recipe

Italian food meets Hanukkah
By
Despite all Hanukkah dishes needing to be cooked in oil/fried, we do not fry the mozzarella to allow for a textural interplay between the creaminess of the cheese and the crispy basil and tomato crunch. It's a fun holiday spin on the arguably healthier simple caprese salad.
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
Directions:
For Fried Green Tomatoes
- Salt and pepper the tomato slices; dredge in flour.
- Dip slices in beaten eggs, letting excess drip off, then coat well with Panko. Fry in hot oil until browned, turning gently (about 3 minutes each side).
Fried Basil
- In a shallow bowl, whisk the flour and water
- Pour vegetable oil into a saute pan and heat until starts to bubble.
- Dredge the basil leaves in the batter and fry, about 1 minute per side or until golden brown.
For Caprese Salad
- Interchange tomato and mozzarella on a plate, placing basil leaves on top. Sprinkle with sea salt and drizzle extra virgin olive oil.
