Servings: 8 Fish Sticks
Equipment
- 1 Food Processor
Ingredients
Vegan Fish:
- 1 can Hearts of Palm drained & rinsed
- 1 can Artichoke Hearts drained & rinsed
- ½ cup Panko Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons All Purpose Flour
- 2 tablespoon Crumbled Nori
- 2 teaspoons Old Bay
- ¾ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
Batter:
- 1 cup All Purpose Flour
- ½ teaspoon Old Bay
- ½ teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 cup Sparkling Water
Oil for frying:
- 1-2 cups of Vegetable Oil
Chips:
- 3 Large Yukon Gold Potatoes
- 1-2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- Seasonings of Choice see note
For Serving:
- Vegan Tartar Sauce
Instructions
- Drain and rinse the hearts of palm and artichoke hearts. Add to a food processor along with panko breadcrumbs, all purpose flour, crumbled nori, old bay, salt and pepper. Pulse until combined. Don't over blend- you want some texture and flaky-ness.
- Divide the batter shape in to 8 fish sticks. They don't need to be perfect (see photo above). Freeze for 20 minutes.
- If serving with chips, preheat oven to 425F and bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cut the fries in to thin fry shape and boil for 5-8 minutes to soften. Drain and rinse until cold water. Toss in olive oil and seasonings then spread out evenly on a baking tray. Bake for 20 minutes then flip and bake for another 5-8 minutes.
- Prepare the batter by whisking together the all purpose flour and seasonings. Don't add the sparkling water until ready to fry.
- Heat a large pot with the oil. Once hot, coat the fish in the batter and carefully lift out and place in the hot oil. I recommend using a large serving fork or spatula to lift the fish out of the batter- it's delicate.
- Fry for about 3-4 minutes each side or until crispy and golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on a wire rack to remove excess oil.
- Serve with crispy baked fries and vegan tartar sauce.
Notes
Chip Seasoning: Sprinkle on as much as desired. I use salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika and old bay.
