Information About

Mozzarella Sticks




Fried cheese sticks are customarily served with warm Tomato or Marinara Sauce . In recent years, however, Ranch Dressing has also emerged as a popular dip.

Mozza sticks may be purchased in the frozen aisles of Grocery Stores for preparation at home. The instructions normally call for baking, as the frozen sticks are often pre-fried.


ORIGIN


The concept of mozzarella sticks has its origins in the 14th Century . A French work, dated 1393, entitled ''Le Menagier de Paris,'' has a Recipe for fried cheese sticks. In this document they are referred to as pipefarces, which means stuffed Straws . These sticks, however, are "Muenster sticks" as opposed to Mozza sticks.


Recipe


''Pipefarces''



  • 5 tablespoons all-purpose Flour


  • dash of Salt (to taste)




Heat the oil in a deep Pan until hot. Beat together the egg yolks and wine. Add the flour and salt and beat until smooth. Dip the cheese in the batter, and coat it completely with a thin layer of batter. Fry the cheese sticks in the oil until the cheese sticks float and appear golden. Remove and drain on Paper Towel . Serve warm.
