Fried Parsley

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat the canola oil in a large saucepan to 350 degrees.

2. 2

   Wash the parsley well, and shake dry. Cut off the bottom parts of the stems.

3. 3

   Combine the flour, Creole seasoning, and salt in a bowl, blending it with a fork. Whisk the egg and the milk together in a second, much larger bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and whisk to make a thin batter. Add a little water if necessary to make the batter runny.

4. 4

   Toss the parsley around in the batter to coat. Shake off excess batter. Carefully drop the parsley into the hot oil and fry until it just begins to brown--just about a minute. Drain on paper towels and serve hot. Serve instantly.
