Tilapia Fries with Chipotle Mayonnaise #WeekdaySupper

Posted on by
10

Tilapia Fries With Chipotle MayonaiseThese perfect, crispy and delicious little fish bites, are a great alternative to your everyday fish sticks. What’s most important is that they are 100% homemade.
This is a different alternative to the everyday #WeekdaySupper and of course is delicious, fresh and I know your kids are going to love it.
The sauce is a simple chile chipotle mayonnaise, and of course is a little spicy. But oh my, it is so delicious to use as a dip. It is perfect to put on the kiddos lunch box, take to work or just have it as an afternoon snack.
I hope you like them and enjoy!

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 pound of Tilapia filets cut in chunks
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 4 eggs
  • Salt and pepper
  • Enough Oil to fry the fish
  • FOR THE MAYONNAISE
  • 1 cup of mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup cilantro finely chopped
  • 1 Chipotle pepper in adobo
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • zest of 1/2 lemon
  • salt, to taste

DIRECTIONS

fish fries 1

Cut the tilapia filets in steak fries like, you know like the potato.

fish fries 2

In a bowl or container beat the eggs with salt and pepper and in another container mix flour, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper. And don’t forget to start heating the oil in a heavy bottom pot, at 325 degrees F.

fish fries 3

Now let start doing the coating, is super easy just like a 1,2,3, method. 1 Fish in flour mixture. 2 Fish in egg. 3 Fish in flour mixture again, and repeat one more time.

fish fries 4

Once the two coating of breading are ready, let start frying this fish, add some pieces not all the pieces and fry until golden brown, it takes about 5 minutes total. Don’t place to much fish to the oil otherwise it will lower the temperature and it will not cook the fish properly.

For the Chipotle Mayonnaise, just mix in a bowl all the ingredients, I like little pieces of chipotle pepper, that is why for this mayonnaise in particular I don’t like to use the food processor.

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes

It is just delicious, and in this occasion I really want it to make something new and different, and is so funny, I made my bundt with some caramel filling, but it kinda got stuck on the pan, but it is still so delicious, gooey and oh my incredibly addictive, oh I forgot to tell you the I add some banana for a “healthy” approach.

Apple Braid BreadAnd we welcome the Autumn season with some inspired and delicious recipes made with apples, yes the #TwelveLoaves team, made a bunch of different types of bread and because is apple picking time, you can make all of them.
My take this month on a delicious apple inspired bread is something the I love eating growing up, Braid Bread, the bakeries in my country have all kinds of braid bread, sweet or salty you just can’t decide in just one.
I try this recipe a couple of times and is not your typical bread recipe, is more compact and doesn’t rise a lot.
The most important here, is the you make the bread and enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea, because in the cool afternoons there is nothing better than that.
Enjoy

For the Dough:

  • 21/2 cups flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup soft butter

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

For the filling:

  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 2 apples, cut into chunks
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon grown cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup Dulce de Leche

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Add the yeast to the warm milk and let it proof for about 5 minutes, you can sprinkle some sugar to help.
In a bowl mix flour, eggs, vanilla extract, salt add the yeast (once ready) and mix to combine with a wooden spoon, add the butter little by little and mix until is all incorporate.
In a slightly flour surface, place the dough and knead for a few minutes, place in the bowl aging and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Bread 3

 

In the meant time place dulce de leche, cinnamon, salt and apples in a pot and cook for 5 minutes in low heat. Let it cool completely, this is important we don’t want a hot filling for out dough.

Bread 4

Ok now the fun part, form a rectangle with the dough and place it in a baking sheet cover with parchment paper, add the filling in the center and cut the sides, about 10 each side, but from the center to the outside, is a little messy but thats ok, my little daughter help me with this one and it was super fun.

Bread 5

See what  I mean, when I have help everything looks so beautiful, ok then put the little pieces one on top of the others, remember to close the ends, you can brush some egg mix with little water to make it more brown and delicious.
Bake for 40 minutes.
