M-F'in Hushpuppies
This meal started on Sunday night but was interrupted by the harsh, day-in-the-sun, drunken comedown that hit so many people that evening. Luckily I had prepared all of the fixings just before I passed out on the cold wood floor of my apartment - you'll notice I forgot to take prep pictures. Success came the following day. Fried red snapper and green beans joined the mix.
Hushpuppies:
1-1/2 c. fine cornmeal
1-1/2 c. water
Cook 1-2 minutes in saucepan until mushy.
Stir in:
2 eggs
1 onion (chopped)
1/3 c. water
In separate bowl, combine:
1 c. flour
3 tsp. baking powder
3 tsp. salt
1/4 c. sugar
1 can corn
1 jalapeno (chopped)
Combine two mixtures and stir thoroughly before dropping spoonfuls of dough into blistering hot grease.
Fish and Green beans:
Rinse and pat dry two pounds of red snapper or other frying fish. In small bowl, combine one egg and about 1 cup milk. In another, mix equal amounts of bread crumbs and cornmeal; add salt and pepper and other spices. Plunge fish into egg/milk mixture then cover in batter. Deep fry on high for about 2 minutes on each side. Serve with lemon or lime.
Green beans?-- should be easy, but I like to add a couple cubes of chicken bullion to a large pot of water with about 2 lbs grean beans. Cook on med-high for about a half hour or until desired consistency.
