Cooked up this beaut a couple of weeks ago. Me Pa saw it on an episode of You Gotta Eat Here where they featured a Toronto greasy spoon called Hadley's. Basically, it's a deep fried poached egg tossed in corn meal, atop pulled pork, atop hash browns, slathered in Hollandaise Sauce. To create the deep fried egg, you poach an egg, carefully strain the water then drop it into some flour, carefully roll it in flour then transfer to corn meal, carefully corn meal (finer grind the better), and then drop it into some very hot oil. Brown this little deep fried chicken baby and transfer to paper towel to soak up some grease, then chuck it onto your carnivore lasagna! If you've done it right, the egg will remain runny in the middle but with a crunchy shell that will have the easter bunny re-considering her future.
Gents - just found your blog. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteFYI Hadley's is the bomb. It's at College and Dovercourt, far enough away from Little Italy to visit even if there's a #@* soccer game or gangland slaying. They make just about everything from scratch, smoke their own cheeses and make a killer Caesar.
You Gotta Eat Here, on the other hand, is embarrassingly bad. Someone put a bullet in that guy's head.
