I decided to my deep fryer the other night. It's been packed away for a while, but now that I have a bigger kitchen, I have room for it! I thought after a healthy meal of salmon, beans, and spinach, I would follow up with fried food! So, I made chicken fingers, broccoli, and cauliflower. They were pretty basic, but I did double bread all of them. A lot of people on the food network have been frying stuff lately, and they all seem to think double-breading is the answer, so I tried it and yes, it works very well. The breading stayed on and tasted delicious!
I decided to create a dip, though, you know, to make it healthier! So, I minced as finely as I could, 3 cloves garlic. Then I added a splash of lemon juice and equal parts dijon mustard and mayo - about 1/4c or so of each. I've made something like this before and the kind of dijon you use, actually makes a big difference. I used Grey Poupon and it is the "Hearty Brown Mustard." I mixed it all together and we dipped. At first taste, it was really good, but the more I dipped, the more I decided there was too much mustard. So, when I put the leftovers in the container, I added more mayo. I had the leftovers for lunch and the dip was much better with the extra mayo.
