Vegan Fried "Chicken"
Serves: 6-8
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
*1 Package Elianni Veggie Cutlets
6 cups + 1 3/4 cup water
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. Hungarian (sweet) paprika
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 - 1 tsp. cayenne pepper (depending on how spicy you like it)
~1 cup vegetable oil
Directions:
1) In a medium pot bring 6 cups water to a boil, remove from heat, then stir in the Elianni Veggie Cutlets. Let the cutlets soak until tender (5-7 minutes).
2) In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Then add 1 3/4 cup water and whisk until the batter is smooth.
3) Pour the tender cutlets into a colander, and use a large spoon to press out as much liquid as possible.
4) In a 12” heavy-bottom pan, pour in oil until it’s 1/4” - 1/3” deep. Heat over medium-high heat; the oil is ready when the batter starts to fry immediately when dropped in the oil. If the oil smokes it’s too hot.
5) Place the drained and pressed cutlets in the batter, and fold them into the batter until all surfaces are coated.
6) Remove the cutlets one at a time, allow excess batter to drip off, and carefully place the cutlets in the heated oil.
7) Fry the cutlets on each side until golden brown (1-2 min. each side).
8) Repeat steps 6-7 until all cutlets have been fried.
