How To Make Cornmeal Gravy Recipe Recipe For Zucchini

GLUTEN FREE CORNMEAL-CRUSTED ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Prepare two small bowls, one containing the beaten eggs or milk, and the other containing the stirred mixture of cornmeal and sugar. Slice the zucchini and dip each slice into the eggs, one at a time, then dredge through the cornmeal mixture. Lay each coated slice into the hot oil and fry just until each side is lightly browned and crispy, flipping to fry each side (this process should only take 2-3 minutes). Keep the oil hot, but be careful that it does not overheat and burn the batter. The idea is to fry quickly at high heat so that the batter does not simply absorb the oil and become mushy. Add oil as needed, and replace the oil entirely if it becomes browned during the process. Remove the fried slices to a paper towel-lined plate to cool while finishing the remaining slices. Serve warm.

• Mix together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Pour the zucchini mixture into the cornmeal mixture, stirring to combine, and gently mix in the Cheddar cheese.
• Carefully pour the batter into the hot greased skillet, smooth it out with a spoon, and bake until the cornbread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.

It will clump together as it cooks, that is what you want.
• When zucchini is evenly browned, turn heat down to low and cover pan with a lid. Allow it to steam until zucchini is slightly tender. Turn zucchini, replace lid, and steam until soft. Remove lid and turn heat back up to medium-high. Fry on both sides until crisp. Serve hot.
