Fried Summer Fruit & Veggies with Burrata and Jalapeño Basil Oil

The perfect summer appetizer

This super simple technique for crispy fried veggies produces a light, lacy golden fry that makes for an addictive appetizer or summer meal.

The key to a light, tender, crispy breading is buttermilk. The viscosity of buttermilk grabs and binds the ideal amount of flour to whatever kind of vegetable or fruit you like giving you the perfect amount of golden, crispy breading in every bite.

Wait… did I say fruit? Why yes I did. I recently learned how delicious it is to fry slices of citrus and prunes and am now obsessed. Try it and you’ll see exactly what I mean.
