madbakerCarrot-Scallion Fritters
3/4 cup grated peeled carrot
1 large egg, beaten lightly
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallion (I used green garlic)
1/3 cup bread crumbs (I used panko-style)
vegetable oil for frying - peanut oil is best
Combine well carrot, scallion, egg, bread crumbs, and a dash of salt and pepper to taste. Heat oil in a skillet to 375 on a deep-fat thermometer. Drop carrot mixture into the oil by tablespoons, and fry 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until golden. Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
What worked: nice taste. The wife suggested a dash of ginger in the mixture would liven these up and I agree.
What didn't: I'm not much of a deep fryer. I didn't burn down the house, or even splash or smoke up the kitchen, but the frying was uneven. If I had a deep fryer this would be much easier; likewise, make the balls all ahead of time. I ended up adding another egg as it was too dry to hold together, and then more bread crumbs because it was too wet.
Will I make it again? Doubtful.
