š” Pro Tips
For an extra crispy coating, chill the coated tomato pieces in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before frying. To prevent the oil from splattering, pour it slowly into the skillet while the heat is medium-low. Store leftover remoulade sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
