The Everything Restaurant Recipes Cookbook

(Tina Meador) #1

1/3 cup honey
4 teaspoons lemon juice


1. Thaw and drain broccoli thoroughly by pressing through a strainer. Beat the eggs in a
mixing bowl with a whisk until well blended.
2. Place the broccoli, eggs, cheeses, bacon bits, onion, and flour into a plastic container. Stir
together with a spatula until thoroughly combined. Refrigerate mixture for about 1 hour.
This will help to bind the mix, making preparation much easier.
3. Heat about 4 cups oil in a fryer or deep pan at 350°F. Place the bread crumbs in a shallow
pan. Scoop a 1 tablespoon portion of the broccoli mixture into the bread crumbs. Form each
portion into a ball and coat it well in the bread crumbs.
4. Place the broccoli bites into the fry basket or frying pan. Make sure they do not stick
together. Fry for 1 minute.
5. Remove and place onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
6. For the dipping sauce, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise and mustard. Blend thoroughly
using a whisk. Slowly pour in the honey and lemon juice and continue mixing until smooth
and well combined. Serve with broccoli bites.

Carrabba's Bread Dipping Mix


This bread-dipping spice sauce is a real favorite. Carrabba's serves the spices on a small plate
and the waiter adds olive oil. Serve with warm fresh bread.
