Super Crispy Burratina

Re-hydrate dry tomatoes in olive oil and hot water

Once hydrated, chop finely and mix with more olive oil, salt, pepper, fresh basil and parmesan cheese, making a fine tomato pesto

Marinade the burratinas in this mix for 10 minutes in the freezer

Meanwhile set up breading station: In a baking dish mix the flour with salt and pepper, in a second baking dish beat the eggs, and in a third the panko breadcrumbs

Get the burratinas out of the freezer (don't let them freeze completely!)

Carefully roll the burratinas in the flour, then the eggs, then through the panko breadcrumbs. roll again in the eggs and press one last time in panko

Chill in the freezer for 5 minutes while you heat the frying oil

Deep fry until golden crisp at 350°F (one to two minutes)

Drench in parchment paper and serve immediately with a side of warm marinara sauce, fresh basil garnish and greens (can be arugula, radicchio, etc)
