Mozzarella Sticks

Ingredients:

1 pack low moisture mozzarella

1 egg, beaten

1 cup and a half of bread crumbs

1/2 a teaspoon of dried oregano

1/2 a teaspoon of dried parsley

1/2 teaspoon of dried basil

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Oil for frying

Marinara Dipping Sauce:

1 can of whole peeled tomatoes

1/2 onion, minced

1 clove of garlic, minced

1 tablespoon of mixed herbs (Your pick. I picked dried basil, oregano and thyme.)

1 tablespoon of fresh parsley, minced

2 tablespoons of olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

You can add or remove any of the herbs. You could also mix half a cup of Parmesan with 1 cup of bread crumbs instead of a full cup and a half of bread crumbs.

Cut your mozzarella block into "sticks". Dip each stick into the bread crumbs until fully coated and then dip it into the beaten egg and then into the bread crumbs again. Place your doubled breaded mozzarella sticks on a plate and cover in cling film. Freeze for an hour or two or until they get firm and the bread crumb doesn't... crumble. Heat your oil and fry for up to a minute, turning once. Drain your sticks on a paper towel lined plate. Serve.

-Heat the olive oil and saute your onion until translucent. Add your garlic, tomatoes and everything else and cook for 25-35 minutes on low heat.
