Categories: Appetizers

Ingredients

  • 1/2 c. sour cream
  • ⅓ c. mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp. Hot sauce
  • 11/4 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1 tsp. fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 tsp. ground coriander
  • 8 large tomatillos
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 c. breadcrumbs
  • 1 c. flour
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 1 c. canola oil

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, hot sauce, 1/4 teaspoon cumin, lime juice, and coriander. Refrigerate dip until ready to serve.
  2. Cut tomatillos into 1/4-inch-thick slices and set aside. In a shallow small bowl, beat eggs. In a shallow medium bowl, combine breadcrumbs, flour, salt, and remaining cumin.
  3. In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat canola oil. Working in batches, dip tomatillo slices in egg, then in breading; shake off excess. Repeat. Fry the slices until deep golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate. Serve immediately with reserved creamy cumin dip.
