LET'S COOK
DIRECTIONS
PREP THE TOMATILLOS
Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse away the sticky coating. Dry them thoroughly, then slice into rounds about ¼-inch thick.
PREP THE FRY BATTER
Prepare the Merman's Revenge Lemon Pepper Extra Crispy Fish Fry according to the directions on the package.
COAT THE TOMATILLOS
Working one slice at a time, coat the tomatillos in the prepared Lemon Pepper fry batter, making sure each piece is evenly covered.
FRY UNTIL CRISPY
Fry the coated tomatillo slices according to the package directions until the outside is golden and extra crispy. Work in batches so the pan does not get overcrowded.
LET THEM DRAIN
Transfer the fried tomatillos to a paper towel-lined tray or wire rack and let any excess oil drain away.
LOAD THEM UP
While the tomatillos are still warm, top each crispy slice with a spoonful of Palmetto Cheese followed by a little bacon jam.
SERVE
Serve immediately while the tomatillos are hot and crunchy and the Palmetto Cheese is beginning to soften over the top.
MADE WITH
LEMON PEPPER EXTRA CRISPY
Bright lemon pepper flavor and an extra-crispy golden coating turn tart green tomatillos into the perfect base for creamy cheese and smoky bacon jam.

GOOD TO KNOW
TIPS FROM
THE MERMAN
DRY THEM WELL
Tomatillos naturally have plenty of moisture. Dry the slices well before battering so the coating sticks and fries up crisp.
DON'T CROWD THE FRYER
Fry in small batches so the oil stays hot and each tomatillo gets an evenly crisp coating.
TOP THEM AT THE END
Wait until the tomatillos are completely fried before adding the Palmetto Cheese and bacon jam. That keeps the coating crisp underneath.
