Cutting Food Waste


After making southern style catfish last night I encountered a common issue that happens, leftover flour and breading. Do I throw this out, surely it was only a few cents of ingredients, but nah, refrigerate it, even if it touched raw-fish, we'll fry other stuff tomorrow.

The ingredients of my catfish breading are almost similar to my fried pickles recipe, just add a bit of panko and a few other things. So tonight we snacked on fried pickles after we had dinner.

Recipe:

3 bowls containing the following ingredients:
flour
1:1 buttermilk/milk (all buttermilk is too sticky, all milk is too wet)
1:1 panko/cornmeal, season it up to your liking with stuff, I use cayenne, chili onion and garlic powder

Cut pickles into serving size of your choice, dry them off well, then dredge them in flour first, after dredging them in flour, bathe them in the milk/buttermilk mixture, then batter up in the panko/cornmeal mixture and deep fry @ 375f
