Health and fertility benefits of Hush Puppies with Herb Mayo

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Basil is an excellent stress reliever, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Ingredients

1/2 lemon, juiced
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Special equipment: a deep-frying thermometer
For the herb mayo: Combine the lemon juice, mayonnaise, basil, chives, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a blender or food processor. Puree until smooth with small flecks of green. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
For the hush puppies: Line a plate with a paper towel. Fill a wide, large pot with about 1 1/2 inches of oil and bring to 360 degrees F over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, whisk the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cayenne, granulated garlic and salt together in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the egg, onion, and buttermilk. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Working in batches, use 2 spoons to carefully drop rounded tablespoonfuls of batter into the oil. Fry until golden brown all over, about 3 minutes; remove the hushpuppies with a slotted spoon and place on the paper towel-lined plate to drain briefly. Serve immediately with the herb mayo on the side for dipping.
