Kalamata Olive Fish Breading

 Here is a unique recipe that I got years ago from my friend and Italian cooking teacher Mario Carrate. This is a breading for fish or shrimp that can be used for baking or frying. For a unique taste give it a try.

Ingredients:

1 Cup Bread Crumbs

1 TBSP Capers-Coarsely Chopped

1 TBSP Finely Chopped Kalamata Olives

2 Cloves Garlic-Finely Chopped

1/2 tsp Oregano-Finely Chopped

Salt and Pepper to Taste

Olive Oil

Preparation:

Combine bread crumbs, capers, olives, garlic and oregano and stir until well mixed. Season with salt and prepper. To use with fish, brush fish fillets with olive oil and press fillets into breading mix. Sauté or alternately lay in a shallow baking dish, cover with a layer of thinly sliced tomatoes and bake at 400 degrees until golden and tender. For use with shrimp, brush shrimp with oil and coat with the breading. Again either sauté or drizzle with a little melted butter and bake.
